Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the diced apples, caramel bits, and optional nuts.
  7. Scoop out cookie dough and drop it onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden and centers appear set but soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Serve and enjoy your delicious Caramel Apple Cookies!
