Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually blend this into the creamed mixture until just combined.
  5. In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Create a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
  7. Fill the indentation in each cookie with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over each cookie, allowing it to cascade into the cream cheese filling.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For a creamier filling, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
