Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dulce de leche
- 10 pieces soft caramels
- 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, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a spoon or your thumb, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of dulce de leche.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the caramel to set for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
