These are some delicious cookies. If you’ve always loved traditional snickerdoodle cookies, you will most definitely enjoy this apple cider snickerdoodle variation. Apple cider syrup is the secret ingredient that really intensifies the apple flavor. These cookies have that wonderful tang of a snickerdoodle with plenty of apple-cinnamon flavor and chunks of fresh apple throughout. They have slightly crisp edges with tender, soft cookie inside.

Ingredients Needed:
- Apple Cider: Just regular apple cider is fine. Nothing fancy is needed!
- Flour: Use all purpose flour.
- Cream of Tartar: Don’t skip it! You can find cream of tartar in your market’s spice section. This is what gives classic snickerdoodles their unique flavor.
- Baking Soda, Kosher or Sea Salt, Ground Cinnamon and Apple Pie Spice
- Unsalted Butter: Use salted in a pinch.
- White Sugar and Brown Sugar
- Eggs: Use large eggs.
- Apple: I like to use honeycrisp, but any apple will work.
