Caramel Apple Cake Mix Cookies


Today is Caramel Apple Day and I’m bringing some easy Caramel Apple Cake Mix cookies!


Cake Mix cookies are just that: they start with dry cake mix  and ingredients are added to make a cookie-like consistency.


These particular cookies are super tasty, but also very sticky!   They definitely need to be baked a little longer than other cookies and will need to cool on the pan for another 10 minutes or so until they’ll stay together.


After that, they’re best eaten in a day or two (plan to bring these to a gathering) or they tend to glom together and then everyone is sad.

Recipe note:

I am able to find “caramel bits” locally.  If these are not available, take wrapped caramels and cut them into small pieces, about the size of a chocolate chip.


Caramel Apple Cake Mix Cookies


1 (15.25 ounce) box white cake mix

½ cup old fashioned oats

4 ounces (7 tablespoons) unsweetened applesauce

2 eggs

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 cup caramel bits


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.


Place all of the ingredients except the caramel bits into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.  Mix until completely combined.  Stir in the caramel bits.


Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking mats.  Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned.


Cool on  the pans for a 5-10 minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely


Makes about 2 ½ dozen cookies
