For an extra burst of flavor, try using homemade apple butter. Don't overbake the cookies, as they will continue to set as they cool. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg until thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated. Stir in the apple butter until just combined. (7 minutes)
03
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should be soft but not sticky. (5 minutes)
04
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up. (2 hours - 24 hours)
05
StepPreheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (10 minutes)
06
StepIn a shallow bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. (2 minutes)
07
StepUsing a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll each ball to coat evenly. Place the coated cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. (15 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set. (8 - 10 minutes)
09
StepLet the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)
