Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it is at room temperature.
  • ⅓ cup cream cheese, softened For best results, use full-fat cream cheese.
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar This adds sweetness to the cookie.
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
Topping
  • ½ cup caramel sauce Store-bought or homemade.
  • to taste Flaky sea salt For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and beat until fluffy. Then, mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  3. Once cooled, drizzle warm caramel sauce over the cookies and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for that perfect finishing touch.

Notes

For the best flavor, opt for high-quality caramel sauce. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
