Mom says...

This recipe makes 3 dozen cookies.  

Smoked sea salt is a favorite for this recipe but others work well too.   You can, however, use regular sea salt in the cookie recipe and skip the extra sprinkling of sea salt on top.

Mom likes to use Mrs. Richardson's caramel topping for this recipe rather than making caramel from scratch so this remains a quick and easy recipe that can be mixed up and baked quickly and easily.   

Depending upon the sweetness of the apples and the tartness of the cranberries you may need to add some sugar.
