How to Make Apple Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup rolled oats and ½ cup apple butter.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.
  6. Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans and ½ cup raisins (optional).
  7. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  8. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
