Prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper or by spraying with a nonstick spray.
Apple Cider
Place apple cider in a sauce pan over medium low heat. Reduce to ¼ cup of cider. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.
Dough
Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar together.
Add eggs and combine.
Slowly drizzle in cooled apple cider and mix until combined.
Stir in flour mixture.
Topping
Combine remaining sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl.
Use a cookie scoop to create balls of cookie dough. Place balls in sugar mixture. Roll each ball so it is coated on all sides with sugar.
Place on prepared cookie sheet
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes and then remove to a baking rack to continue cooling.
Notes
Tips for making snickerdoodles
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Reduce apple cider over medium low heat to avoid scorching the cider.
Estimate when you think it has reduced to ¼ cup. Remeasure before adding to dough. If cider has reduced to less than a ¼ cup, add a bit of undiluted cider to complete measurement.
Allow reduced cider to cool before adding to cookie dough.
This dough is very soft. You will need a cookie scoop to form the balls of dough.
Grease baking sheet or line with parchment paper before adding cookie dough.
