Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookies:
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp concentrated apple juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp allspice
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the Frosting:
  • 5 oz softened cream cheese
  • 4 tbsp softened butter
  • 3 tbsp caramel sauce (homemade or purchased)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • For the Streusel and Garnish:
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cold butter, cubed
  • 1 green apple, chopped into cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Streusel Topping: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium skillet, melt the cold butter over medium heat, then remove from heat. Add flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt, mixing until moistened. Return to heat and stir frequently until toasted and golden brown. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, white sugar, and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add egg, concentrated apple juice, and vanilla extract; mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
  3. Shape and Bake the Cookies: Use a large cookie scoop to portion nine dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 12 minutes, or until lightly golden and set around the edges. Let cookies cool completely on the sheet.
  4. Prepare the Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and caramel sauce, then mix in vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy and light.
  5. Assemble and Garnish the Cookies: Spread frosting generously on each cooled cookie. Sprinkle with streusel topping. Garnish with chopped green apple cubes. Optionally, drizzle with extra caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze un-frosted cookies for up to 3 months. Frost when ready to serve.
  • Tart apples like Granny Smith are recommended for a good flavor balance.
  • Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes before baking to help cookies hold their shape.
  • Streusel and frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
