Description
Make soft, chewy cookies filled with diced apples and drizzled with caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup finely diced firm apple (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the diced apple and 1/2 cup of caramel sauce.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle with extra caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
- Use firm apples that hold their shape well during baking.
- For a stronger apple flavor, you can toss the diced apples with 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon before adding them to the dough.
