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
