- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and light brown sugar until fluffy. Add in the egg and apple cider; mix until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
