Apple Caramel Oatmeal Cookies Recipe #FBCookieSwap

This year is the fourth year I’ve participated in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. It’s so much fun to make cookies and send them to complete strangers! Not only do I get to send my cookies, I also receive three packages of cookies in my mailbox.

When I signed up, I paid $4 to participate. That money is donated to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. This year, there are two brand partners, Oxo and Dixie Crystals. Each brand partner matched the bloggers’ donations (up to $3000 each).

About Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap:

The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap brings together food bloggers from around the world, sharing cookies and recipes with each other.  

Last year I made Devil’s Food Crinkle Cookies. And OH BOY were they good!!

This year I decided to make Apple Caramel Oatmeal Cookies.

The week before Thanksgiving, my kids and I took a trip to my sister’s house. There is this amazing little town (West, Texas) about 2 hours from her house. We always stop for a bathroom break and treats. This time they had Apple Caramel Oatmeal Cookies that looked delicious! It looked like it was worth the 99 cents the store was asking. The cookie was so good! I knew I had to re-create those chewy, goodness-filled cookies, so here we are!
