Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • tsp allspice
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 5 oz cream cheese
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • Toppings
  • Caramel sauce
  • 1 granny smith apples diced small

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Prep a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter, brown sugar, and white granulated sugar together.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and blend until smooth.
  • Add the flour, cinnamon and other spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients. Blend everything together until a cookie dough is formed.
  • Use a spoon or cookie scoop to create large 2-inch balls of dough and place them onto the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass. Bake for 13 minutes or until the cookie edges are slightly browned.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
  • While the cookies are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. Start by mixing the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Blend together until combined.
  • Add the powdered sugar and mix once again until a smooth creamy frosting has formed.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large circular tip.
  • Pipe a circular swirl from the center of the cookie outwards until you reach the edge. Top with the small cubed green apples. Drizzle with the caramel sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy!
