  2. Dip the tops of the cooled cookies in the apple cider butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar.
  3. Drizzle or spread the glaze on top for extra sweetness.

Notes

Serve these cookies warm with a hot cup of apple cider or chai tea. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Use fresh cider for the best flavor and consider adding chopped dried apples or walnuts for variation.
