Table of Contents

I was pretty stinking excited to brand these cookies. 

I dear apple tree cider. 

It was going to endure a stand upwards for made inward heaven.

It reminds me of college. I used to drinkable i of those sugar-free apple tree cider packets inward the eve fourth dimension piece doing homework inward our apartment; waiting for Ryan to larn habitation from cross solid soil or runway practice.

Fast forrad to now, when I anxiously longed for that apple tree cider flavor. Well, these cookies accept Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 TON of the flavor. Almost also much, but for around reason, it worked. I in conclusion took the fourth dimension to read on the recipe that I would postulate to "add inward 10 packets of apple tree cider mix" to the dough. What the devil, people?! Why non only work existent apple tree cider? It's the Fall, isn't it? Time for apples to wing out of everyone's ears inward all their varieties! 

I made the cookies anyway. I had already bought the apple tree cider mixes, but genuinely alone idea I'd endure using i of them for the cookie dough. One past times i I opened each packet, too dumped the into the heavenly cinnamon-flavored mix adorning my mixing bowl. 

With i oculus closed, too an obscene amount of skepticism, I tasted the dough... 

It was incredible. 

Incredibly tart. 

Incredibly apple-cider-loaded. 

Incredibly carameley. 

Incredibly soft too silky.

Incredibly AWESOME. 

I idea the season mightiness endure also potent from all the cider-goodness, but after baking, the season genuinely mellowed a chip too folded perfectly dorsum into itself. Instead of using caramel squares inward the pump of the cookies, I wanted to work around leftover caramel balls I had inward the pantry. It made for niggling pockets of melted caramel everywhere inward the gooey warm & soft cider-soaked cookies. 

 Fall was flight from our oven.

And nosotros happily filled our bellies amongst it - over too over again. 

...apple cider mix too all.
