  • Using a large cookie scooper (¼ cup or 4 tbsp) scoop out 9 equally sized cookie dough balls, place them on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool down.

Make the cream cheese frosting

  • Cream the cream cheese, and butter, together until smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar, and caramel, and whip until light and fluffy.
  • Frost the cooled-down cookies with the cream cheese frosting, top with cubed green apples, a sprinkle of homemade streusel, and a drizzle of caramel. Enjoy!
