Caramel Apple Spiced Cookies

These super tasty apple spiced cookies are one of my favourite fall treats! I made them for my family last week and they were gone in two days! I would recommend making a double batch if you have snackers in the house!

These cookies are paleo, AIP, gluten free and nut free!

These cookies look great but taste better! These cookies are soft and chewy with the touch fall flavours and yummy caramel on top!

I used apple pie spice and gelatin to create this soft fall flavoured cookie! You can also make these cookies vegan with an egg replacement like flax egg!
