Apple Cider Cookies

Have you ever made apple cider cookies? Calvados is a liquor that pairs incredibly well with sweet doughs.

Don’t be afraid of using liquor because it evaporates during baking and leaves behind the wonderful aroma it imparts to the baked dough.

These cookies don’t require a lot of sugar to be delicious; the ingredients balance them in flakiness and flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 oz cider (apple)
  • 2 tsp water
  • 3 tbsps raw cane sugar (white sugar is fine too)
  • 1 tsp anise seeds
  • 1.5 cups Type 2 flour (you can also use 1 cup type 2 + 1 cup whole wheat)
  • 0.5 cup remilled durum wheat semolina (whole)
  • 65 extra virgin olive oil (corn or sunflower oil is also fine)
  • 2 tsps baking powder for desserts
  • salt (a pinch)
  • 0.7 oz almonds (or hazelnuts, one per cookie)

Tools

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Kitchen Scale
  • 1 Teaspoon
  • 1 Baking Mat silicone or parchment paper

Steps

  • First, measure the cider in a small jug or a small measuring cup and add the anise seeds.

    Let them soak for ten to fifteen minutes.

    In a bowl, mix the two types of flour, add a pinch of salt and the sugar.

    Add the oil to the liquor and pour everything into the center of the dry ingredients.

    For sweeter cookies, you can add another 20/30 grams of sugar, compared to my dose.

    Finally, add the vanilla baking powder.

    With a fork, starting from the center, begin to mix the ingredients, eventually incorporating the flour from the edges.

    When it is no longer possible to mix the dough with the fork, use your hands to form a dough ball.

    Once the dough ball is ready, break off pieces and weigh them so they are all equal.

    Each cookie weighs about 25 grams. Shape them as you like.

    I didn’t use cutters, just weighed the pieces and shaped them by hand into a rectangular, but irregular form.

    With these quantities, you will get about 16/17 cookies.

    Place the cookies on parchment paper or a silicone mat. Add almonds or hazelnuts if you like.

    Turn on the oven to static mode at 356°F and once it’s at temperature, bake for approximately 21 minutes.

  • The cookies are ready to be enjoyed, anytime during the day.

Tips for Storing Apple Cider Cookies

You can store the apple cider cookies in an airtight glass or tin cookie jar, and they will remain crispy for two or three days or more.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
