Caramel apple sugar cookies with apple juice, walnuts, and caramel coating, perfect for Halloween and fall gatherings.
Ingredients:
  • 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 0.66666668653488 cup butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed, divided
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • flat toothpicks
  • 30 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 0.75 cup finely chopped walnuts
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • In a bowl, cream confectioners' sugar, butter, and 1 tablespoon apple juice concentrate with an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in flour and salt until just combined. Roll into 3/4-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in preheated oven until edges are lightly golden brown, 12 to 17 minutes. Insert toothpicks into the center of each cookie right away, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a saucepan over gentle heat, melt caramels with 2 tablespoons of apple juice concentrate and water until smooth, stirring occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle cookies with the warm caramel sauce, allowing any extra to drip off.
  • Plate the walnuts, then delicately press the bottom of each caramel-coated cookie into the walnuts before placing them on a sheet of waxed paper to set.
