Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling.
On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Spread a thin, even layer of caramel sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one long side, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Repeat with the second portion of dough.
Chill the dough logs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
Once chilled, slice the logs into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife and place the slices onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Caramel Swirl Cookies!
