Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 3/4 cup quick oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon *It could use a little more
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- Caramels (I made caramel apples the day before and made little caramel squares out of the left over candy)
- 1 green apple, diced into small pieces. *Dried apple might work better... can't promise though
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray cookie sheets with pam. In a small bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. With an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, then beat in eggs one at a time. Gradually add flour mixture and oats until combined. Stir in apple pieces.
To form cookies, make a ball of dough and then flatten it in your palm. Put a caramel in the center and fold dough around it. Roll back into a ball and place on cookie sheet. They spread out a bit so make sure you space them apart. Bake 11-14 minutes... I found that at 11-12 they were still soft. Remove from baking sheet immediately and cool on a wire rack (otherwise any caramel that spills out with harden and the cookies may break when you remove them).
YUM!
