Caramel Apple Walnut Cookies Delightful and Chewy Treat

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup diced apples (preferably Granny Smith)
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 0 cup extra caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Before placing them in the oven, drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce on each cookie dough ball.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
9. Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle more caramel sauce over the tops of the cookies as they cool.
