 Welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food and I am here today with a quick and easy recipe for caramel apple cookies. You just need a few simple ingredients to get started. You're going to need some sugar cookie mix, some caramel bits, an egg and butter, some instant apple cider drink mix, some dried apples, not the freeze dried apples, just regular dried apple slices and some cinnamon. So if you want to see how this easy recipe comes together stay tuned. So I have my oven preheated to 350 degrees. In this bowl I have the sugar cookie mix. To it I'm going to add my cinnamon and my apple cider drink mix and I'll make sure to leave the recipe in the description box so that you guys will have the exact measurements and I'm just going to give this a quick stir and next I'm going to add my egg and by the way my egg and butter are at room temperature. So I've got my egg in there. I'm going to add my butter next and I'm just going to use my hand mixer and mix it up. Okay so your mixture is going to look crumbly but you should be able to press it together with your fingers just like that. Alright so now I'm going to add in my dried apple and as you can see I chopped it up. The easiest way that I have found to chop up the dried apples is with my kitchen shears. I've tried it with knives before and it just doesn't work as well so I just use my kitchen shears. I haven't tried the food processor because I'm afraid that the apples may stick to the blade but it may work. So give it a try if you'd like. So I've got my apples in there and then I've got my caramel bits and just going to use this little spatula here and mix it up and here is what it looks like. So I have my cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and I've got a I think this is about a one and a half inch cookie scoop and I am just going to dig in grab some dough and form it into a ball just like this and place it on the cookie sheet. I'm gonna try to space these about an inch apart. Now I'm not gonna do all of these on camera because I know you guys probably would not want to see that. So I'm gonna finish these up off camera and then I am going to place them in my preheated oven. It's again it's preheated at 350 degrees. I'm gonna bake these for about 10 to 12 minutes or until they're golden brown and then I'll bring them out and show you what they look like. So here are the cookies out of the oven. I did two trays so on this first tray are the ones that I showed on camera that I rolled into a ball and on the second tray are ones that I rolled into a ball and then I flattened with the palm of my hand. So I ended up baking these both for about 15 minutes each and they have been cooling on the cookie sheet. As you can see we have already eaten a bunch of the cookies and they are really tasty. So I am going to have my husband break open the cookie so that you can see the texture on the inside. So we're gonna start off with the ones in the ball right here. He's gonna grab one. So his preference is for a softer cookie and he really liked these a lot. You can we open it back up. You can see the apple pieces in the caramel in there and you really like these. Yes I really like the cookie. Yeah really good. And then this one is the one that I flattened out. This is my preference because I prefer a firmer cookie but you can still see all of the apple and all the caramel. The flavor of the cookie is really good. You can definitely taste the apple and the caramel in there. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
