Insanely chewy, packed with apple flavors, and covered in tons of cinnamon sugar, these fall-style snickerdoodle cookies are going to blow your MIND they're so good! They're so easy to make, you'll find them in your cookie jar all the time.
Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Place butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat butter and sugar until completely creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg, apple butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Add flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg to mixer and mix on low speed until dough forms. Combine topping ingredients in a small bowl.
Scoop dough into 1-in balls and roll balls in sugar mixture. Place 1-in apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies at 350F 9-10 minutes or until edges just start to turn golden. (middles will still be soft--this is ok) Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
