  4. Add the egg, apple cider, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Combine until just mixed.
  6. Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
Assembly

Notes

Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes can help the cookies hold their shape better while baking. For an extra layer of flavor, use maple syrup instead of some apple cider. Always ensure your butter is softened for the best results.
