Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter Use unsalted butter for better control over the salt.
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar Adds depth and moisture to the cookies.
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar Balances out the richness of the brown sugar.
  • ⅓ cup apple butter Choose quality apple butter for optimal flavor.
  • 1 egg At room temperature for easier blending.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste Enhances overall sweetness and flavor.
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour Provides structure to your cookies.
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar Gives snickerdoodles their characteristic tangy flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise and become fluffy.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Brings warmth and spice to each bite.
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg Adds subtle complexity to the cookie flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Used for rolling cookie dough balls.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon Creates a delightful coating for the cookies.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the melted unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Then add in your apple butter, egg, and vanilla bean paste.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients while stirring until just combined.
  4. Scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls about one inch in diameter. Roll each ball in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon before placing them on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden on the edges but still soft in the center. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
