Apple cider or apple juice
You can use any either apple juice or apple cider for this recipe. The apple cider will have a deeper flavor to add to the cookies. This recipe used apple juice, as that is what we had on hand, but either works well.
FAQ
No, I don't recommend it. The caramel won't firm up and stick on the cookies well.
I would stay with the recipe listed.
Yes, any kind will work.
Caramel topping
The caramel topping is just a handful of unwrapped caramels that can be bought from the store, melted. Using these caramels are best as they melt well and when put on the cookies, hold their shape well. If you were to use another type of caramel, it may run off the cookies.
Tip
What until the cookies are cooled completely before drizzling the tops with the melted caramel.
Bake
Bake these apple cider cookies at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes until they are baked through. These cookies will need to be cooled on a cooling rack before drizzling caramel on top.
Leftovers
