These yummy cookies have an apple filling, then dipped in caramel and nuts. Ingredients:
1/3 cup chopped unpeeled apple |
1/3 cup evaporated milk |
1/3 cup granulated sugar |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 (14 ounce) package caramels |
2/3 cup evaporated milk |
green toothpick |
1 cup finely chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine filling ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened; set aside to cool. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add egg, vanilla and salt; beat well. Add flour; mix well. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball and place 1/4 teaspoon filling in center of each. Fold dough over filling and reshape into balls. Place 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, cook caramels and 2/3 cup evaporated milk, stirring occasionally, until caramels are melted. Insert a toothpick into each cookie and dip into caramel until completely coated. Dip bottoms into nuts. Place on wire racks to set.
3. Makes about 3 dozen.
