I adapted this recipe from The Cooking Photographer's "Caramel Stuffed Apple Cider Cookies." (http://www.thecookingphotographer.com/2009/11/caramel-stuffed-apple-cider-cookies.html) I don't like Kraft caramels, so I made the homemade caramel found at http://www.giverslog.com/?p=3168 to drizzle over the cookies. Amazing fall flavor!
