Make boiled cider syrup from the apple cider by bringing cider to a boil in a large stockpot. Reduce to simmer and simmer until reduced to ¼ cup, about 1-2 hours. Then remove from stove and allow to cool. This can be done up to 30 day sin advance and stored refrigerated.
When ready to make apple cider cookies beat butter and sugars in stand mixer or by hand until light and fluffy. Then add egg, egg yolk and the ¼ cup of cooled boiled apple cider syrup. Beat until combined.
Combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Then stir the dry ingredient mixture into butter mixture until combined. Cover and chill, at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. And combine a pinch of cinnamon with ¼ cup of granulated sugar on a small plate.
Scoop chilled dough into small 2 inch cookies and coat in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place cinnamon sugar coated cookie dough balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet leaving about 3 inches of space between them. Bake until golden brown, about 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
Store cooled apple cider cookies tightly covered at room temperature.
