I've spoken of my cake mix/pudding mix addiction before. I just can't resist when I see fun new seasonal flavors. I've amassed quite a collection, and it's time to start working my way through them.
My friend Carol shared this recipe for Caramel Apple Cheesecake Cookies, and I knew that the guys would love them. I did omit the cheesecake emulsion, and I used King Arthur Flour mini cinnamon chips instead of the full size.
The first tray I forgot to flatten, the second tray I flattened too much, and the third was just right. I was slightly worried because I've been overloading the guys with apple stuff lately, but they were a huge hit. Thank you Carol!
