Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup caramel bits
1 cup dried apples, chopped
For the Caramel Drizzle:
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Prepare the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This step is crucial for creating the perfect texture.
Add eggs and vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they’re fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
