Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually stir in the apple cider, blending until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies look set in the center.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
