Ingredients
- 10 TB salted butter softened (not melty)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 TB maple syrup
- 1 egg large
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 TB whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats dry
- 2 Granny Smith apples grated (use large holes) and squeezed dry
- ½ cup soft caramel candies
- 1 TB water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F, with rack on middle or lower middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In bowl of electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 1-2 min. Add maple syrup, egg, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla. Beat on low until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add rolled oats to flour mixture and whisk together.
- Using wooden or rubber spatula, fold wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Stir in grated apples until fully incorporated. If dough is sticky, chill 30 min to an hour.
- Form rounded 1 tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets.
- Bake 11-13 minutes, or just until lightly golden; don't overbake. Cookies will set upon cooling. Transfer warm cookies to wire rack and let cool.
- Place caramels and water in small heavy saucepan. Stir continuously over low heat until melted and smooth. Let rest a bit until it's no longer too hot to handle. Using fork or Ziploc baggie with tiny hole cut out of the corner, drizzle warm caramel over cooled cookies. Be careful - melted caramel is hot!
