Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese and mix until smooth.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture until fully combined.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly. Create a shallow well in each dough ball.
- Spoon about a teaspoon of caramel into each well. Optionally drizzle more on top.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it’s too soft to shape.
- Use a thick caramel sauce to prevent leaking during baking.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-salty twist.
