ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup apple cider, boiling hot
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Method
Step 1
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and dark brown sugar for 4-5 minutes, scraping the bowl several times, until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the boiled cider and vanilla. Scrape the bowl down again and beat to combine well.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients by spoonfuls, mixing just to combine. Use a spatula if you need to bring it together to incorporate all the flour.
Step 3
Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into balls. Roll each ball in the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Place on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, and flatten each ball with the palm of your hand. Refrigerate the dough balls while you preheat the oven.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350. Bake the cookies for 8 minutes (small cookie scoop) or 10 minutes (large cookie/cupcake scoop). Cool on the pan for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Step 5
Depending on the size of the cookies, this recipe yields 2-4 dozen.
