Description
Delicious Crumbl Salted Caramel Cheesecake Cookies that combine the rich flavors of cheesecake and caramel in a soft, chewy cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold in the caramel sauce until well blended.
- Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese caramel mixture in the center and fold the dough around it to form a ball.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the cookie dough.
- To make these cookies even more decadent, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top before serving.
