For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of softened butter. If you don't have apple butter, you can substitute with unsweetened applesauce and a pinch of extra cinnamon. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and nutty flavor.
