Caramel Apple Cookies

Made a couple tweaks that made them absolutely delicious!!! Instead of full caramels in the center, I added caramel bits into the mix. I also used freeze dried apple chunks instead of whole fresh apples. Would like to try fresh apples and just dried apple pieces next time, to experiment, but these were great with the freeze-dried apples. Also cooked for about 12-13 minutes, checking at 9 and adding time as I went.

Got rave reviews, more then any other cookie that I have cooked. Used half caramels so that it wouldn't leak out. Apple made the cookies a bit mushy the next day. Great idea to toast before eating!
