Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings ¾ cup confectioners' sugar ⅔ cup butter, softened 3 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed, divided 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt flat toothpicks 30 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water ¾ cup finely chopped walnuts (Optional) Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, and 1 tablespoon apple juice concentrate together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy; stir in flour and salt until dough is just combined. Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls and arrange on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, 12 to 17 minutes. Immediately insert toothpicks in the center of each cookie. Place cookies on a wire rack to cool completely. Combine caramels, 2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate, and water in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until mixture is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon caramel sauce over each cookie, letting excess caramel sauce drip off. Pour walnuts onto a plate. Press the bottom of each caramel-coated cookie into the walnuts and transfer to a sheet of waxed paper to set. Cook’s Note If the caramel mixture becomes too thick, I stir in more water, about 1/4 teaspoon at a time.
