Glazed Cider Cookies
Glazed Cider Cookies is From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 2 hours and 15 minutes. A mixture of flour, coarse gold sugar, brown sugar, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so tasty.
Instructions
Bring the apple cider, cinnamon stick and allspice to a simmer in a small pot over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 12 minutes; set aside to cool.
Remove the cinnamon stick and allspice berries.
Whisk the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the egg and half of the cider mixture and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 3/4-inch balls and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes.
Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
Whisk the confectioners' sugar and the remaining cider mixture in a small bowl until smooth.
Spread the glaze on the cookies and top with the coarse sugar.
