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
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 cups finely diced peeled apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling
  • Optional: extra cinnamon sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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, nutmeg, and allspice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. If desired, sprinkle the tops with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, drizzle with caramel sauce.

Notes

  • For best results, use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them.
  • These cookies are great for meal planning and can be a delicious addition to your Thanksgiving cookies selection.
