Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
-
Fold in the caramel sauce and mini chocolate chips (if using).
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies have set.
-
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added flavor, try replacing mini chocolate chips with caramel chips or toffee bits.
Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the cooled cookies for a sweeter finish.
These cookies freeze well for up to 2 months.
