Instructions

Reduce the apple cider in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it becomes about ¼ cup. Allow it to cool.
Brown unsalted butter over low heat until nutty and golden, then cool.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, spices, and salt together.
Combine cooled brown butter with sugars in a mixing bowl; whisk in egg, yolk, reduced apple cider, and vanilla until smooth.
Mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined; let rest while preheating oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment.
Scoop dough onto the sheet and bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set.
Cool briefly before coating with cinnamon sugar mixture and glazing.
