Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped apples
  • 1 cup caramel sauce for drizzling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture; blend well until combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid over-mixing.
  6. Fold in the chopped apples and mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Roll the dough into balls, then roll them in a mix of cinnamon and sugar.
  8. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space for spreading.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are soft.
  10. Allow them to cool before drizzling generously with caramel sauce.

Notes

To enhance your baking experience, consider using coconut oil for a lighter option, but note it may alter the flavor slightly. Avoid overbaking for a chewy texture and use smaller chopped apples to prevent sogginess. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
