Salted Caramel Oatmeal Cookies

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

To Connie – I took the photo of the cookies pictured, and I baked them. Also, the recipe does not call for dark brown sugar. Here are some suggestions that will contribute to a successful results: 1) use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is calibrated properly. 2) use commercial-weight cookie sheets lined with silicone baking mats. 3) make sure cookie sheets are completely cool before placing cookie dough on them. 4) cookie sheets should be baked in the center of the oven. 5) be sure every cookie is the same size so the whole batch bakes evenly. 6) check package of caramel bits to be sure they’re fresh (soft). 6) properly softened butter should look like a chilled stick of butter, but squish easily when pressed – if it looks greasy or separated, it has become too warm and your cookies will probably spread too much as they bake.

These cookies bake up nothing like the picture. Even if you pull them out way early, they turn out very dark brown and the Carmel is either hard (my early batch that I baked the full time) or very sticky ( when I pulled them out much earlier). With only dark brown sugar in them, I am not surprised. Just wonder where the picture came from that shows these light brown and raised in the center. Mine spread way out. Kind of disappointing.

Hi Patricia, these cookies look delicious. I am adding to my recipe box right now! I have a real weakness for homemade cookies and these are different from anything I have tried. But, I will be making them very soon. Thanks for sharing.
