These homemade cookies are so good, they should be illegal. Although, everyone would be breakig that law if they were illegal.

These cookies quickly became known as “crack cookies” at my house. They are extremely addictive and you can’t just have one at a time. First day that I made them, I told hubby to try the new cookies when he came home from work. He walk into the bedroom finishing the cookie and said that it was really good. I told him to feel free and have more (the more he eats, the less I will) and he said that it was his fourth!!

How in the world did he manage to eat four cookies in less than a minute, I will never know.

Hiding them doesn’t work either, you will frantically look for them with shaky hands! Addiction to these cookies is serious and lasting. It’s been two days since we finished the cookies and we are feeling the withdrawals.
Time to make more!

Oatmeal cookies are already boys’ favorite, adding apples, Werther’s chewy caramels and Dulce de Leche shot it to the top of the charts.

The only way for me to convince you just how delicious these cookies are, is to tell you to make them now! Go, go, go!

Course: Cookies
Cuisine: American
Keyword: apple, caramel, Dulce De Leche, oatmeal
Servings: 24 -26 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of butter softened
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup of flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups of old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped chewy Werther's caramels
  • 1 small Gala apple cored, peeled and chopped
  • 1 small Granny Smith apple cored, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup of Dulce de Leche for topping

Instructions

  • ~Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a whoopie pie pan. I LOVE mine to make cookies, they come out a perfect size every time. (Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper if you don't have a whoopie pie pan and lightly grease it.)
  • Beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Add flour, baking soda and salt, mix until just combined.
  • Add the oats, mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped caramels and chopped apples until evenly spread throughout the dough.
  • Scoop the dough (#16 scoop or about 1/4 cup) onto the pan. (About 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.)
  • Bake for 9 to 11 minutes.
  • Let the cookies set in the pan for a couple of minutes. Be careful taking out the cookies as the caramel gets sticky. Line the cooling rack with parchment paper and very lightly grease it. (It will be easier to pick up the cookies as the caramel gets sticky.) Transfer the cookies onto the cooling rack. Cool the cookies.
  • Place Dulce de Leche in the piping bag with a #4 attachment and drizzle it onto the cookies.

      So glad you found something you liked! Enjoy! Remember, if you are concerned about the caramel sticking to pan and paper, substitute the caramel bits (that you can find in the baking isle)!

    I am wondering if that was a typo in the instructions where it is stated to beat butter and sugar “on medium HEAT” till creamy? Is this recipe done on the stove? Please answer a.s.a.p. as I want to make them for a friend this week. Thanks 🙂

    I was wondering if there is an error in the instructions where it states to beat butter and sugar “over medium HEAT (?)” until creamy. Is this recipe to be made on the stove?

      Oh, haha, yes that’s a mistake! It’s meant to be “on medium speed!” Thank you.
      I write these things daily and they get mixed up in my head, then I read right over the mistake. 🙂

        Hey no problem! Just wanted to be sure before I went ahead and made them on the stove and ruined them. I am new to your site, must say everything looks really good and I will enjoy making many of your recipes. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I am sure we will connect again soon once I make these amazing looking cookies!!

          That is so sweet of you! Thank you, Terry! I hope you enjoy everything!
          (Remember, Werther’s caramels can get a bit sticky, you can use caramel bites from the bakign isle just as well!)

            Thanks I was wondering about that. I looked at them in the store the other day and was wondering if they would be as good as cutting up the Werther’s. That is the easier way for sure and if the recipe is still just as good with the little caramel balls, hey! I will opt for the easy way 🙂 I will let you know how they turn out. I will be making then next week.

            Well I got around to making the Dulce de Leche oatmeal cookies this evening. Mine do not look like yours at all. They are rounder and much darker than the pictures. Can you tell me what I did wrong. Followed directions to a “t” but didn’t get the results I was hoping for. Baked them 10 mins because the centers looked unbaked at 9 mins and didn’t dare let them to 11 mins or they would be darker than what I got. I wanted to give these away looking as gorgeous as yours…:( Did you by any chance flatten them before going into the oven? I am trying it on my last batch just to see if they do better. They do taste good though :)!!

            Thank you,

            Terry
