There's one thing that's always sure to be a winner at my house, and that's cookies. I've been making this recipe since 2006, when I submitted it as an entry in my town's cookie contest and won my category.
This post is sponsored in conjunction with #AppleWeek . I received complimentary product from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my #AppleWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
I took that recipe and incorporated some of my favorite new products into it. For part of the flour, I substituted Flahavan's Irish Rolled Oats. Instead of vanilla extract, I used Taylor & Colledge Vanilla Bean Paste. And to make the delicious apple filling, I stirred in Chocoley's Gourmet Caramel.
Oatmeal Caramel Apple Thumbprints
Ingredients
- For the cookies:
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Taylor & Colledge Vanilla Bean Paste
- 1/2c Flahavan's Oats
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 Envy apples (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, diced small (1/4")
- 1/4 cup apple juice or cider
- 3 T Chocoley Gourmet Caramel
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together brown sugar and butter. Add egg yolks and vanilla, mix well. Stir in flour and salt. Roll into 1 inch balls or use a cookie scoop. Place on sheets 1" apart.
- Bake in 375º degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Quickly indent each cookie center with thumb (I use a tart tamper). Bake 10 to 12 minutes longer. Cool completely on the baking sheets.
- For Filling:
- Combine apples and apple juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium; cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in caramel. Coat apples completely. Cool. Fill each cooled cookie with 1t filling.
- *Filling can be made ahead and stored in fridge. Fill cookies just prior to serving.
