Soft & Chewy Apple Cookies

I am a little bit obsessed with the cookies you see below (caramel apple) and I wanted to recreate them but without the caramel and without the oats and just let an apple flavor come through in a slightly soft, mostly chewy cookie.

Caramel Apple Cookies

Checklist: egg yolks, oats, brown sugar, freeze dried apples, cinnamon, caramel! I mean, a cookie doesn’t get chewier than this. It’s a cross between an oatmeal cookie and a caramel apple and it’s just the best cookie.

there’s been some recent scone action on the blog, so I must ask, have you tried:

Brown Butter Scones

Flaky and moist scones made with brown butter. Stuff the scones with bits of fruit or with chocolate chips. Make a little extra brown butter for a bb glaze, it’ll be divine.

Chocolate Swirl Scones “Babka Scones”

Buttery, moist and flaky scone dough layered with dark chocolate sauce. A favorite on the site!

reader review =)

(I’m so excited you guys are already making this!!)

Everyday Pumpkin Cake

“Once again, the Everyday Butter Cake family has the win! This is an absolutely delicious spin-off of the first (and legendary) ebc. It’s super moist, and the crunchy top is fantastic! The flavors are perfect- packed full of pumpkin with that subtle hint of brown butter. Also, this is like the perfect cake to make when you don’t have much time but need to make an impressive dessert that is sure to impress. Don’t hesitate- just make this now!” - Adelaide

notes

Scone talk: two bakers you should check out if you are a scone person. Thida Bevington (whose layered scones inspired by ‘babka scones’) and Anita who recently published a chocolate scone recipe that I’ve been meaning to try and has a pumpkin scone recipe that I have made and loved (when she first published it, I layered it with chocolate like my babka scones!).
Have a halloween party this weekend or want a fun project to do with the kids? Try these monster cookies stuffed with chocolate candy and rolled in toasted oats, or their gluten-free monster counterparts. This time of year, I also love rolling the dough of these chewy chocolate cookies in halloween sprinkles
Just a reminder that if you have black cocoa, I have recipes.
Always useful to share this time of year: a short read about the difference between fresh cider, cider vinegar, apple juice and hard cider. Only one of these is good for baking ;-)
I don’t know if this was meant to be tongue in cheek but I found it quite funny: a list of snacks to have while listening to 1989 TV (but gotta say funfetti cake for ‘shake it off’ is on point).
