Chewy oatmeal cookies made to taste like a caramel apple.
Servings 16
Ingredients
- ½ cup or 113g butter unsalted and softened
- ⅔ cup or 135g light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup or 100g old fashioned rolled oats
- 100g all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 35g freeze dried apples ground into a powder
- Chewy sea salt caramels
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat together the butter and brown sugar for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks and beat for a few minutes. Add the salt, soda, cinnamon, vanilla and oats and beat to combine.
- Fold in the flour and freeze dried apples.
- Scoop onto a cookie sheet, about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie.
- Press a chewy caramel candy in the center (smush it if it’s long) and cup & turn the cookie dough between your hands so that it stands tall and mostly covers the caramel (leave some peeking out the top).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden at the edges.

Notes
I recently updated this recipe to use a full bag of freeze dried apples (35g). If you were making it before with the 22g and liked it that way, keep doing it! I was too lazy to measure out my apples one day and just used the whole bag and found that I got more apple taste and more 'chew' to the cookies. I liked it more so I changed it here.
