Apple Butter Snickerdoodles!

Do you love cookies? Here’s a recipe that might just be perfect for you! Makes about 28 Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar + 1/3 cup, divided
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon + 1 teaspoon, divided

DIRECTIONS:

1. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
2. Cream butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar in a mixer until fluffy. Mix in eggs, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and apple butter.
3. Beat just until mixed. Add in flour mixture and mix until just blended together. Chill your dough at least 4 hours.
4. This dough MUST be cold before baking. Because of all the butter and apple butter, the cookies will spread quite a bit if you skip the chilling!
5. Preheat oven to 350F. Line cookie sheets with parchment or a silpat baking mat.
6. Place 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar in a small bowl.
7. Scoop balls of cookie dough (2 tablespoon cookie scoop) and roll them in the cinnamon sugar.
8. Place on your cookie sheet. Recommend only scooping 2 cookie sheets at a time, then re-chill the dough for while those two trays bake.
9. Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes for slightly underdone, 13-14 minutes for fully done. Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheets.
