Apple Butter Snickerdoodles

Ingredients

- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup Namliyet Setti’s apple butter
- 1 cup unsalted butter slightly softened
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs

Toppings

- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Whisk flour, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
2. Cream butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar in a mixer until fluffy. Mix in eggs, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and apple butter.
3. Beat just until mixed. Add in flour mixture and mix until just blended together. Chill your dough at least 4 hours.
4. This dough must be cold before baking. Because of all the butter and apple butter, the cookies will spread quite a bit if you skip the chilling.
5. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper
6. Place 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar in a small bowl.
7. Scoop balls of cookie dough (your desired size) and roll them in the cinnamon sugar.
8. Place on your cookie sheet. (It is recommended to only scoop 2 cookie sheets at a time, then re-chill the dough while the two trays bake)
9. Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes for slightly underdone, 13-14 minutes for fully done. Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheets.
