Cookie of the Week: I Give Up On This One
So they sounded good in theory.
Carmel Apple cookies.
Perfect for fall right?
I tried two different recipes. One two weeks ago, one today. Neither recipe worked. The caramel burned before the cookies were done. The caramel stuck to the pan even with no-stick cooking spray and parchment paper.
I say caramel baked into a cookie just isn’t a good idea.
I guess I should have taken photos of my disasters, but I was so frustrated I just scrapped the mess off the baking sheets and right into the garbage.
I made a brownie mix tonight to snack on instead. Easy, no fail.
Off to look for next week’s recipe.

I have an idea. I used to make those peanut butter cookies that have the hershey kisses in the center. I would bake the cookie first, and then push a hershey kiss down on the top immediately after they came out of the oven. So, what if you baked the apple cookies, and then put a caramel on top instead of baking it in the cookie? Just a thought.

Those sound good! Thanks for the recipe. I’ll have to try this one.
I don’t know about caramel APPLE cookies (for some reason they sound kind of yucky to me), but these cookies are to die for:
Rolo Cookies
Cream together:
6 Tbsp butter or margarine
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
Add:
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Chill dough. Then roll a small scoopful into a ball in your hand, press a Rolo in the center and cover it with dough. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips for frosting on top.
(You will need approx 6 pkgs of Rolos; there are 9 Rolos in a pkg.)
