Frequently Asked Questions
Homemade caramel is very simple. All you need is sugar, heavy cream, and butter. If you can’t find candy caramels like I use in this recipe, you can buy those three ingredients and make it yourself.
If you don’t have cooking parchment paper available, just use an ungreased cookie sheet.
You can add some chopped apples on top of the caramel for something extra. They're the perfect add-on!
I used a 2 tablespoon-size cookie scoop, so my cookies were bigger than normal. If you use a smaller cookie scoop, you can make about 17 cookies. I just like my cookies nice and big!
