Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Butter Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened unsalted butter for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and apple butter to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until fully combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
