These are a lovely
combination of sweet apple cider, cinnamon, and a little sweet from the sugar.
I know I put a teaser on Facebook tow days ago if anyone saw it saying I would post these yesterday but then after they cooled
completely (because of course I got excited and immediately posted about them)
then I decided I wasn't completely happy with them. They were too chewy and the
apple cider was to strong. But I changed the recipe and now they are perfect!
At least to me. I don't ever want to share a recipe with you all that I'm not
completely happy with. I am completely happy with these though.
I bet these would freeze
well also which would be perfect for the holiday season. They're quick and easy
to throw together and have a nice little twist in the flavor, a light undertone
of apple cider. Yum! These would make a lovely addition to an assortment
platter of cookies also. Happy baking!
