Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

½ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup dried apples, finely chopped

1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt

Optional: Caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. Set this mixture aside for later use.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter along with both the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, typically about 2-3 minutes.

        Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the large egg and the pure vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat them in on medium speed until they are fully blended into the mixture.

          Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough is just combined to avoid over-mixing.

            Fold in Oats and Apples: Using a spatula, gently fold in the rolled oats and finely chopped dried apples. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough for optimal flavor.

              Shape the Cookies: Utilize a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop rounded scoops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each scoop to form cookie coins, leaving adequate space between each for spreading while baking.

                Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown, while the centers will appear soft. They will firm up as they cool.

                  Cool and Assemble: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, generously spread a layer of frozen yogurt on the top of each cookie, creating a delightful sandwich effect.

                    Freeze the Cookie Coins: Arrange the yogurt-topped cookie coins on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the frozen yogurt becomes firm to the touch.

                      Serve and Enjoy: For an added touch of sweetness, drizzle the frozen yogurt cookie coins with caramel sauce just before serving. Enjoy your refreshing Frozen Yogurt Apple Pie Cookie Coins straight from the freezer!
