Caramel Apple Cookies

Caramel Apple Cookies



1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 3/4 cup oats
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
12 oz caramel baking bits
2 Granny Smith apples



1. Mix butter, brown sugar and sugar with a mixer
2. Mix in eggs and vanilla
3. Put oats in food processor and pulse until finely ground, then mix in flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda
4. Add oat mix into butter mix and blend
5. Peel and chop 2 apples, then hand stir into dough
6. Stir in caramel apple bits
7. Refrigerate dough for an hour
8. Roll dough into golfball sized balls and bake on parchment lined sheets at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes
9. Cool for 4 minutes before moving to a wire rack

Notes: These cookies are like a caramel apple sucker mixed with an oatmeal cookie. (I think I ate half the dough while waiting for batches to bake.)   I found the caramel bites at Wal-Mart with the chocolate chips, made by Kraft. Sometimes the caramel bites stick when you're trying to remove the cookie, so definitely use parchment paper and let them sit before removing to a cooling rack.

Recipe Origination: Erin found this one for me on craftzine.com
