- 1 cup apple butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
- Add the apple butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If including oats, fold them in at this stage.
Baking
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is normal.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy warm with tea or coffee, serve with ice cream, or sprinkle with powdered sugar for a festive touch. Store cookies in an airtight container; place a slice of bread inside for moisture.
