Ingredients
⅓ cup boiled apple cider
½ cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg (room temperature)
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup sanding sugar (for rolling the cookies)
Instructions
Mix wet ingredients:
In a large bowl, cream together shortening, granulated sugar, and egg until smooth. Add boiled apple cider and mix until well blended.
Combine dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
Combine and chill dough:
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat and prep:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Shape and coat cookies:
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll each one in sanding sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly.
Bake:
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Boiled apple cider intensifies the apple flavor. You can reduce regular cider on the stovetop until syrupy.
For a variation, add chopped nuts or a drizzle of cider glaze after baking.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
