Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and apple butter to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda; gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, removing them when the edges turn golden and the centers are still soft.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
