Recipe Description
I’ve got cookie recipes for days, if you couldn’t tell. These apple toffee thumbprint cookies with a cream cheese drizzle look and taste fantastic. The cookie is packed with the apple butter, toffee bits, and cream cheese. The three ingredients work amazing together in the cookie too. Surprisingly, the toffee bits aren’t hard little rocks in the cookies either. They just melt in and add another depth of flavor. I have sensitive teeth, I don’t think I could handle chewing on little stones.
Wesley laughed when I showed him my edited photos for this blog post. The cream cheese drizzle is so white and just popped out on the tops of these cookies. It almost makes it look like it was photoshopped into the photos. It wasn’t, trust me. I’m not that talented.
