Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the apple cider. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and softened butter until smooth.
• Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
• Once the cookies are completely cool, spread frosting on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
