Caramel Apple Sugar Cookies

Amazingly soft Caramel Apple Sugar Cookies that are flavored with apple butter and have caramel baked right inside!

Can we just stop and take a moment and think about how amazing you all are?

…..

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!

The other day I posted about a nasty comment that I got on the blog and how I need to be more like a duck to just let things roll off my back.

The Caramel Apple Sugar Cookies have a light brown color with sparkles from the sugar. - 2

First, I want to say that that comment upset me a whole heck of a lot more than I care to admit. And isn’t that part of the evilness that is anonymity on the internet? I know absolutely nothing about this person and yet I totally let them wreck my day. It doesn’t even make sense.

No lie.

So, thank you. Thank you all for being you. Thank you for being the reason that I can do this amazing job. I get to stay home with my kids, I get to bake, I get to be creative, I get to take photos, and while it is harder than I think I have ever worked at anything . . . ever . . . I feel like I am living the dream.

Thank you.

You guys are the best.

The Caramel Apple Sugar Cookies are stacked on top of each other. The top most cookie has a bite showing the gooey caramel interior. - 3

I should probably talk about this recipe, lol!

You guys these cookies are insanely good! They are soft, delicious, and have the taste of apple and cinnamon with a little caramel baked right in the center of them. I ate way more of these cookies than I normally do of blog treats and way more than I’m comfortable admitting! These are great anytime of year, but super fun in fall.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sugar + more for rolling
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
8 TBSPs butter at room temperature see note
1/3 cup apple butter see note
2 tsps vanilla extract
2 eggs
24 mini rolos

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
Beat the butter and apple butter together until well combined. Add in the 1 1/2 cups sugar and beat until fluffy, about three minutes. Add in the vanilla and then eggs, one at a time.
Slowly add in the flour mixture while beating on low. Beat until just combined, scraping down as necessary.
Chill the dough for 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking pans with silicon mats or parchment paper.
Roll the chilled dough around the Rolos, one for each cookie, to make a dough ball about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Bake two inches apart for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies just turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for two minutes and then carefully remove them to a cooling rack until completely cooled. Store in an airtight container.
