Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookies are soft, chewy and full of fresh apples and caramel baking chips. Perfect cookie recipe for fall!
This oatmeal cookie recipe is absolutely amazing. Full of cinnamon and they have the most amazing texture and consistency. Add some caramel baking chips and chopped apples and this recipe is completely off the charts!
WHAT KIND OF OATS ARE BEST IN OATMEAL COOKIES?
You can use quick oats or old-fashioned oats in your cookies- it really comes down to a personal preference. I really love using old-fashioned oats in this recipe, but it’s totally up to you and what type of oats you have in your pantry! If you use all quick oats, the cookies will end up being a little bit more dense and a little bit puffier. I like the texture of old-fashioned oats because it make the cookies a little bit chewier (and also like I am eating real oatmeal which makes it easier for me to justify eating a few of these for breakfast!). You can even use a combination of both types if you’d like!
