Snack: Caramel Apple Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
48 round toothpicks
1 package (11 ounces) Kraft caramel bits
2 tablespoons water
1 cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugars and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in chips.
Shape into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until set. Immediately insert a round toothpick in center of each cookie. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, combine caramels and water. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Holding a cookie by the toothpick, dip cookie in caramel mixture, turning to coat. Allow excess to drip off. Immediately dip the bottom and sides in pecans.
Place on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining cookies, caramel mixture and pecans. Let stand until set.
