I cannot tell you how unhappy I am that the moment Halloween ended, Christmas exploded everywhere. But here I am participating in Christmas Cookies week so clearly I am a hypocrite.

This is the blogging world, where we have to publish the recipes you want in a month and a half right now.

Mulled Cider Spiced Brown Sugar Cookies #ChristmasCookies

These cookies are only a slight adaptation from my cinnamon brown sugar cookies with slightly different spices added to mimic those used in mulled apple cider. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on some mulled cider white balsamic that would be a great addition as well instead of vanilla extract.

Add a little glaze on top and these will be an unsuspecting favorite holiday cookie. But in case you need more ideas, check out Monday’s #ChristmasCookies week list of recipes below:

  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Place sugar in a shallow bowl.
  4. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and roll in the sugar, shaking off any excess. Place on prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until edges of cookies are just starting to brown and centers are set. Let cool on sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While the cookies cool, in a small bowl whisk together the  powdered sugar, water, and vinegar. Drizzle over cooled cookies and allot to set before serving.
