Mmm…Caramel Apples! Caramel apples are a serious childhood memory for me! I still love it, when they make an appearance in the produce section of the supermarket! Here is a cute way to hand out some caramel apple look-a-likes! Make these caramel apple shaped cookies for a fun fall party, or a fun after school snack! Here’s how:
You’ll Need:
- Sugar Cookie Dough – if you need a handy dandy recipe for the Best Sugar Cookies Ever – click here
- red and green food coloring
- Popsicle sticks – optional
- Soft Caramel Candies
- Nuts – optional
- Wax paper
- Parchment paper
- A round cookie cutter
So, Here’s What You’ll Need To Do:
Oh, by the way – if you use my Sugar Cookie recipe – you’ll get about 24 cookies
Here’s a video to help you in the process:
- Line a baking sheet with Parchment Paper
- Color most of your sugar cookie dough with red food coloring
- Take a small amount – maybe about 1/2 cup of dough and color it green for the leaves
- Use wax paper to roll out the red dough onto
- Use the round cookie cutter to make red circles
- Place about 6 circles onto the baking sheet lined with Parchment paper
- Take the craft sticks and slide them under the apples
- Roll out the green sugar cookie dough
- Use a small circle to cut little circles out of the green – cut them in half and shape the circle halves into leaves
- Press the leaves onto the apples
- Bake according to the sugar cookie recipe directions
- Slide the cookies off by pulling the parchment paper onto a cooling rack with the cookies still on the paper
- Once the cookies have cooled, roll out each caramel candy and shape them into caramel bottoms by tugging at the them and making little hills
- Place them onto the bottom of the cookies
- Add nuts, if you like
