Oatmeal Caramel Cookies!

Tweet

One of my favorite cookies in the world are Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I love 'em! But for some reason I tend to think about making them in the fall. I think it has something to do with comfort food, and to me, oatmeal raisin cookies are the ultimate comfort food! But today, I thought you might enjoy a little change so I traded out the raisins for some nice, creamy, caramel bits! I think you are going to enjoy this tasty combination! I also drizzled some fall colors over these cookies to help you celebrate the spirit of the season!!

Oatmeal Caramel Cookies

1/2 cup + 6 tablespoons softened Butter

3/4 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
3 cups Quick Cooking Oats
1 1/2 cups Caramel Bits
Orange, Yellow and Green Frosting

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.

 In a separate bowl, mix together your flour, baking soda,  and cinnamon.

Add oatmeal and mix well.

Add caramel bits and mix together with a spoon and spatula.

Place rounded tablespoons of dough onto your cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Let cool.

Make your frosting.
Squiggle frosting over your cookies.
Let dry.

Enjoy!

The apples cook down a lot.
