They are delicious! I added chopped nuts and half teaspoon each of ginger and nutmeg. I didn't have a problem with the dough being to thin or sticky but I am guessing that different apple butters may be thinner or thicker. Mine was homemade and very thick. Making these again for sure!

Have made these multiple times and they are always a hit. Cake-like cookie, but we like our cookies on the soft and fluffy side.

This recipe is ok if you like really puffy cakey cookies. They’re almost more like a muffin. The apple butter flavor doesn’t come through, you can only taste cinnamon. The dough is very soft, even after in the fridge for over two hours, so it was difficult to work with. The cookies hardly spread and they didn’t get thin and chewy like how I wanted! I’ll cut back on the cream it tartar and baking soda and add more sugar to get the chewy texture and then add a thumbprint of apple butter on top :)
