These cookies taste like a caramel apple in cookie form. Dark brown sugar and vanilla give the dough a rich caramel flavor, and they’re studded with diced apple and chopped Caramel Apple Milky Way minis. A baking mix like Bisquick is the secret shortcut: it keeps them soft and puffy without much butter. Perfect for fall parties and harvest gatherings.
Tips
- Can’t find the seasonal candy? Use regular Milky Way minis, chopped caramels or caramel baking bits.
- Dice the apple small (about 1/4 inch) so the cookies hold together.
- Don’t overbake. Pull them when the edges are set and the centers still look soft.
- Chill the dough 15 minutes if it seems too soft to scoop.
