Before I talk to you all about why I’ve been away for about a year let me talk to you about this recipe I’ve been hoarding for about a year. Whiskey Caramel Apple Cookies from Baker Bettie. They’re delicious. They have apples AND oats in them so they’re kind of healthy right? I think so too. I made them with butterscotch chips and some caramel pieces and they were still A+ cookies. I mean look at them:
I’ll really be updating more over the next few weeks. I’ve been making somethings I’m really excited about. It’s a big shift but I also have some recipes hanging out that I just haven’t posted for whatever reason. Don’t worry, recipes are acoming.
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- ? cup whiskey
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 small or 1 large granny smith apples, grated with a box grater
- 1 cup caramel pieces/butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat until incorporated.
- Add the whiskey and mix. The mixture will look curdled - don't be concerned. Alcohol does that to butter.
- Add the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon and beat until incorporated.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl add the oats and mix again.
- Add the all-purpose flour slowly while the mixer is going.
- Mix until all the flour is just incorporated.
- Add the grated apple, caramel pieces and butterscotch pieces and fold into the batter
- Using a large scoop, scoop rounded dough balls onto baking sheets lined with foil or parchment.
- Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the foil or parchment. The caramel may stick so remove carefully to not break the cookies.
