Description

Soft, chewy cookies with juicy apple pieces, drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with nuts—perfect for cozy gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup diced apples
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add this to the creamed mixture.
  5. Fold in the diced apples, caramel sauce, and chopped nuts (if using).
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned at the edges but still soft in the center.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on wire racks before serving.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, try adding cinnamon or nutmeg. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
