Apple Butter Cookies Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
  • 3/4 cups Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Apple Butter
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
DIRECTIONS:
Cream together until light and fluffy:
Butter
Granulated sugar
Dark brown sugar

Beat in:
Apple butter
Egg yolk

Whisk together and add:
All-purpose flour
Whole wheat flour
Pumpkin pie spice
Salt
Baking powder

Stir just until all ingredients are well blended; do not overmix. Chill dough for 3-4 hours before rolling. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough out on a lightly floured counter to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with your favorite Ann Clark Ltd. cookie cutters, then transfer cookies onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone lingers. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly colored. Let cookies cool slightly on cookie sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
