Apple Cider Cookies image

Sweet cider isn't just for drinking. As anyone who's ever had an apple cider doughnut knows, it's just as delicious in desserts, including these cookies! From their apple-studded tops all the way through their chewy interiors, these cookies are infused with fruit flavor and spicy-sweet cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. So, they're just the treat you'll want to nibble while standing along the sidelines rooting on the school team. And since a batch makes 40 cookies, you'll have enough to share with your fellow fans. All you need to get started is 20 minutes, Betty's sugar cookie mix and a package of apple cider mix.
