Enjoy the taste of fall with these soft, chewy caramel apple cookies. Packed with apple pieces and drizzled with caramel, they’re like a caramel apple in cookie form. The dough is no-chill, making them perfect for a quick fall treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup finely chopped apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1/2 cup caramel bits or chopped caramel candies
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples and caramel bits.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, drizzle the cookies with caramel sauce.

Notes

  • For a stronger caramel flavor, you can use a mix of caramel bits and chopped caramel candies.
  • Ensure your apples are finely chopped so they distribute evenly in the dough.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
