Light cookie with a apple caramel topping. Looks great for Halloween.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed, divided
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- flat toothpicks
- 30 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¾ cup finely chopped walnuts (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, and 1 tablespoon apple juice concentrate together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy; stir in flour and salt until dough is just combined. Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls and arrange on ungreased baking sheets.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, 12 to 17 minutes. Immediately insert toothpicks in the center of each cookie. Place cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4
Combine caramels, 2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate, and water in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until mixture is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon caramel sauce over each cookie, letting excess caramel sauce drip off.
Step 5
Pour walnuts onto a plate. Press the bottom of each caramel-coated cookie into the walnuts and transfer to a sheet of waxed paper to set.
Cook’s Note:
If caramel mixture becomes too thick, stir in more water 1/4 teaspoon at a time.
