Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 20 soft caramel candies (unwrapped)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Unwrap the soft caramel candies. Flatten a tablespoon of cookie dough in your hand, place a caramel candy in the center, and wrap the dough around it completely to form a ball.
Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the remaining soft caramels with the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cooled cookies for an extra layer of sweetness. Allow the caramel drizzle to set before serving.
