Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cream cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Finishing Ingredient:
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350F and grab a clean baking sheet.
- Combine softened butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Cream these ingredients until they form a smooth, fluffy mixture.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter-sugar blend. Pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and blend thoroughly until completely incorporated.
- Sift 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt into a separate bowl.
- Slowly introduce the dry ingredients to your wet mixture, stirring gently until a consistent dough forms.
- Fold 1 cup softened cream cheese, ½ cup caramel sauce, and ½ cup chocolate chips into the dough. Mix carefully to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 350F oven and bake for exactly 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges.
- Remove cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle sea salt across the warm surface for a delightful flavor contrast.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and ensure thick, bakery-style cookies.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother incorporation and better texture in your cookie dough.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the same delicious structure.
- Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet to help them set and develop a perfect chewy-crisp edge.
