Applesauce Cookies with Caramel Frosting
OH. MY. GOSH.
These cookies are WONDERFUL!
This is another recipe from my grandma's cookbook, but I added a little something to make them extra special, Caramel Frosting.
Where to begin on the Caramel Frosting?!...I used this recipe for my Apple Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Frosting, but I don't think I gushed enough about how DELICIOUS this frosting is.
Hands down, my new FAVORITE frosting. I could lick the bowl clean after making this frosting. It is unique and absolutely mouthwatering. Combine this amazing frosting with the flavor from the Applesauce cookies and you get a match made in Heaven. These cookies are very similar to the Banana Cookie recipe. The dough is dropped by the spoonful onto the cookie sheets, rather than rolled into a ball.
If you haven't already made your neighborhood gifts or need a cookie for a cookie exchange, then you should definitely try these out! Even if you have already done those things, still try this cookie out. You won't be disappointed. It is AMAZING! Trust me!
