Ingredients:

1.25 cups

Apple Cider

1 tsp

Baking Soda

1 tsp

Kosher Salt

1 large

Egg

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

2

Heat the cider in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil

3

Continue to cook until syrupy and reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 12 to 14 minutes

4

Set aside to cool slightly

5

Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl until smooth

6

Beat the butter with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and the light brown sugar in a separate bowl on medium-high speed until fluffy and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes

7

Beat in the reduced cider and the egg (the mixture may look slightly curdled)

8

Stir in the flour mixture and 1/4 cup of the chopped apple chips until combined

9

Stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of chopped apple chips and the apple pie spice in a small bowl

10

Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls, using lightly moistened hands if the dough is too sticky, and then roll in the spiced sugar mixture

11

Place the dough balls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets and top with a few pieces of whole apple chips

12

Bake until the edges are just set but centers are still soft, 11 to 13 minutes, rotating pans halfway through the baking time

13

Cool 2 to 3 minutes on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
