Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar. Cream until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the apple cider. Mix until just combined.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the cookies and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
