YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!
The other day I posted about a nasty comment that I got on the blog and how I need to be more like a duck to just let things roll off my back.
First, I want to say that that comment upset me a whole heck of a lot more than I care to admit. And isn’t that part of the evilness that is anonymity on the internet? I know absolutely nothing about this person and yet I totally let them wreck my day. It doesn’t even make sense.
On the other hand, I totally let the amazing comments that I got on that post MAKE my day. I should say days, because they keep coming in. I am blown away by people actually taking the time to read my blog. And then someone mentioned how much she looks forward to seeing Wine & Glue in her email inbox and I was crying.
No lie.
So, thank you. Thank you all for being you. Thank you for being the reason that I can do this amazing job. I get to stay home with my kids, I get to bake, I get to be creative, I get to take photos, and while it is harder than I think I have ever worked at anything . . . ever . . . I feel like I am living the dream.
Thank you.
You guys are the best.
I should probably talk about this recipe, lol!
You guys these cookies are insanely good! They are soft, delicious, and have the taste of apple and cinnamon with a little caramel baked right in the center of them. I ate way more of these cookies than I normally do of blog treats and way more than I’m comfortable admitting! These are great anytime of year, but super fun in fall.
Caramel Apple Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar + more for rolling
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 8 TBSPs butter at room temperature see note
- 1/3 cup apple butter see note
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 24 mini rolos
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
- Beat the butter and apple butter together until well combined. Add in the 1 1/2 cups sugar and beat until fluffy, about three minutes. Add in the vanilla and then eggs, one at a time.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture while beating on low. Beat until just combined, scraping down as necessary.
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking pans with silicon mats or parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough around the Rolos, one for each cookie, to make a dough ball about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Bake two inches apart for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies just turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for two minutes and then carefully remove them to a cooling rack until completely cooled. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Apple Butter is found in the grocery store near the jelly.

Pam Young says

I didn’t know that “be a duck” was someone else’s mantra, too. My in-laws use it all the time! It’s unfortunate when you find yourself on the wrong side of someone else’s bad day. I work in the medical field and that’s my explanation for patient rudeness. I hope your hater reads all the outpouring of support for you and your site and apologizes (though they probably won’t.) Congratulations on creating something that makes you and others happy. That’s all you can really hope for.
That is SUCH a good way to look at it Angela – “when you find yourself on the wrong side of someone else’s bad day” Thank you!!
