Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup caramel bits or chopped caramel candies
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples, caramel bits, and pecans (if using) to create your caramel apple cookie dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy your delicious fall caramel apple cookies!

Notes

  • For a stronger caramel flavor, you can drizzle melted caramel over the cooled cookies.
  • Ensure your apples are finely chopped so they bake evenly within the cookies.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
