1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
04 -
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
05 -
1/2 cup sugar
06 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
07 -
1 teaspoon baking soda

# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and cover baking trays with parchment paper.
02 -
In another mixing bowl, toss together the flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and baking soda. Slowly mix it into your wet dough until it just comes together.
03 -
Beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla until fluffy and creamy. Mix in the egg until smooth.
04 -
Carefully stir in the nut pieces (if you're using them) and the apple chunks.
05 -
Drop spoonfuls of dough on the lined pans, spacing them out a couple of inches. Let them bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden color.
06 -
Let the cookies cool down on the baking tray for 5 minutes. Move them to a rack to cool fully. Add caramel drizzle on top, and sprinkle sea salt if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
Firm, tart apples are your best bet for good texture.
02 -
Caramel drizzle should go on right before eating.
03 -
Try pecans or walnuts if using nuts.
