Description
Make delicious Salted Caramel Cookies from scratch with this easy recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Butter (lightly softened)
- 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 large Egg Yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/4 cup High-Quality Caramel Sauce (plus more for drizzling on cookies)
- 2 1/2 cups Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- Sea Salt Flakes (optional to sprinkle on the top)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 390 degrees (unless you are chilling your dough). In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for at least 4 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer. Stir in caramel.
- Fold in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If sprinkling sea salt flakes on the top of cookies, reduce salt to 1/2 teaspoon. If you have time, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This reduces the spreading of the cookies. A 24-hour chill time is suggested, if you can wait.
- If possible, use a light-colored baking sheet. Roll cookies into light balls and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-11 minutes or until lightly golden on the sides. Remove from the oven and let set up for several minutes.
- Drizzle caramel all over each cookie before serving. If so desired, sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
Notes
- Chilling the dough prevents excessive spreading.
- Light-colored baking sheets help prevent burning.
