Crunchy Caramel Cookies Recipes

CARAMEL CRUNCH

Steps:

• Make the caramel crunch: Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water; mixture should look like wet sand. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until sugar is dark amber in color. Immediately pour caramel onto prepared baking sheet; let cool completely.
• Crack cooled caramel into large pieces and place in a resealable plastic bag. Crush into tiny pieces using a rolling pin; you should have a scant 1/2 cup of caramel crunch.

OLD FASHIONED CRUNCHY GINGERSNAP COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the shortening, one-cup sugar, salt, and baking soda to the bowl of an electric mixer and mix until smooth and creamy.
• Add the egg, mix until well incorporated. Add the molasses, and again mix until well incorporated.
• Add the flour, one teaspoon cinnamon and the rest of the spices to the dough and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
• Add one teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup of sugar to a shallow bowl or pie plate and mix well.
• Use a 1-inch ice-cream scoop or a spoon to make 1-inch dough balls. Drop the dough balls into the sugar-cinnamon mixture and roll around until the balls are coated.
• Transfer the balls to a baking sheet which has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, lined with parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat. Be sure to leave 1-1/2 inches between the dough balls because they will spread.
• Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven, use a spatula and place the cookies on a wire rack to cool. Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
