Salted Caramel Cookies {Fill the Cookie Jar}
This month's Fill the Cookie Jar theme is Halloween or Pumpkin. I have to let you in a little secret - my cookies this month doesn't have anything to do with Halloween or Pumpkin. Yeah, I am being a bit of a rebel ~ Hope it doesn't get me kicked out of this fabulous group (sucking up here!!!).
I had made these cookies to take to my husband last week and thought if I had time I would make another cookie that fit this month theme. This month also is National Caramel Month so I decided that these will work.
I had found Jif Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread awhile back and wanted to make them into a cookie. As hubby has a peanut sensitivity, I decided to use my Peanut Blossom recipe and substitute the Hazelnut Spread for the Peanut Butter. These cookies were awesome. I did bake them slightly longer than the recipe called as we like crunchy cookies... So if you want a softer cookie, don't bake as long.

I promise to not kick you out of the group! I was a rebel and my recipe is not really a Halloween recipe! I love this recipe and happen to have some of the Jif in my pantry. I must confess, I eat it by the spoonful! I am sure your husband was really happy to get this cookies! I am sure he was happy to see you too! Thanks for being a part of the Fill The Cookie Jar.
