Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Step 3: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla bean paste.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Step 5: Fold in the white chocolate chips and salted caramel sauce until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Step 6: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your salted caramel white chocolate cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- If you want to enjoy them warm, simply pop the cookies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to bring back their gooey texture without sacrificing flavor.
- These cookies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of extra salted caramel sauce on top for an indulgent treat.
- When mixing the dough, be careful not to overmix after adding the flour; this ensures your cookies stay soft and chewy rather than dense and tough.
