Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.

Assembling and Baking
  1. Scoop out dough portions and flatten them slightly; add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the middle and wrap the dough around it, forming a ball.
  2. Arrange on a lined baking sheet, giving them space to spread.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  4. Once done, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with a touch of sea salt while they’re still warm.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before indulging in these decadent treats.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Refrigerate for longer storage or freeze individually to prevent freezer burn. Let thaw or warm in the microwave when ready to eat.
