Caramel Apple Cider Cookies

With fall and back to school just around the corner, I know I will be making lots of great apple desserts. I have already shared quite a few with you so far.  If you have yet to checkout my Caramel Apple Pie Cookies, I suggest you do so… They come highly recommended by the entire family.

My kiddos pack their school lunches and cookies are the easiest thing to make in large batches to have ready for their lunchboxes. I can save quite a bundle by making homemade cookies instead of purchasing store bought.

Caramel and apples are meant to be together, kind of like peanut butter and jelly, ha ha. The apple cider flavors and caramel come together so perfectly in these tasty Caramel Apple Cider Cookies. The caramel found right in the middle is gooey but combines with the cookie so well that the ratio is spot on.

Not many ingredients are needed for these yummy cookies. To achieve the Apple Cider flavoring you will need to purchase Alpine Spiced Apple Cider in the Original Flavor. You can find the mix near the hot chocolate in your grocery store. My Kroger even carries a Kroger brand. You will also need a bag of Kraft Caramels and some simple items you most likely already have on hand. The recipe is quite simple and comes together quickly.

    Hi I don’t have Apple Cider Mix in the UK. Is there an substitute for this? Or can I not put it in at all, and replace with more flour?
