Pre-heat the oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Let the butter come to room temp by sitting out for at least 30 minutes to soften.
Using a hand mixer add the softened butter to a mixing bowl along with the sugar, brown sugar, apple cider, and vanilla. Mix on low-medium speed until well combined.
Add the flour, baking soda and cinnamon (optional all spice) and fold together with a spatula.
Using a 1 ounce cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls and place them on the lined baking sheet.
Place in the oven on the middle rack for 16 minutes, let cool for 30 minutes.
If you choose to make the glaze simply add the confectioners sugar to a small bowl with the apple cider and whisk until runny, drizzle on fully cooled cookies.
