Step-by-Step Instructions for Caramel Apple Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well-combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy.
  4. Add one egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture; beat until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the reserved flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples and caramel bits until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between scoops.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
