Salted Caramel Cookies
No need for a mixer! These cookies come together right on your stove top. Salty caramel is paired with vanilla for a sweet and savory combination that's out of this world!
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon good butter, like Kerrygold
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream * I used Organic Valley
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour * I used Arrowhead Mills
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon sea salt * For the topping only, don't mix in
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Add the butter, cream, white and brown sugars with vanilla in a saucepan, and whisk them together over medium heat. Allow it to simmer gently whisking continually until it begins to bubble. Once it bubbles allow it to cook about a minute more, then remove from heat and allow to cool a bit (to a warm but not hot temp).
- Sift the flour and baking soda together, then add it to the cooled caramel mixture and stir. Using a small 2inch cookie scoop, place balls of dough onto a baking sheet. Press dough down with a fork or a floured glass then sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
