How to Make Apple Butter Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup apple butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered milk, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup raisins.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Dip a fork in ice water and gently flatten each cookie, creating a criss-cross pattern on top.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cooled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. This step is key for the best texture!
  10. Serve chilled. These cookies freeze well for later enjoyment!
