Apple Butter Cookies

First and foremost, the taste of apple butter in these cookies is negligible at best. That's okay with me because I'm not all that fond of apple butter.


See, these weren't supposed to be apple butter cookies. They were supposed to be sour cream cookies. I didn't have sour cream, and I had apple butter staring at me from the depths of the fridge. So I substituted and figured everything would go okay. Which it did! 



This turned out to be a fairly moist cookie, but it is definitely a treat meant to accompany a nice glass of milk or perhaps cider. The taste of them isn't too strong; the cinnamon and nutmeg come through just enough. At times it almost tastes like a weak version of Golden Grahams. I'll say this is a nice fall cookie, or a breakfast cookie if you're the sort who enjoys cookies for breakfast.

Apple Butter Cookies

2 eggs
1 c sugar
1/2 c apple butter
1/3 c butter, melted
2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Thoroughly beat eggs. Add in sugar, butter, apple butter and mix well. In separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add to butter mixture. Arrange by teaspoon on a buttered cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake for 8 or 9 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes around 30 cookies.
