Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened For a creamy texture
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Adds caramel flavor
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda For rising
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For aroma
  • 1/2 cup liquid caramel For the gooey filling
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) For extra richness
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for decoration) Adds crunch

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until a homogeneous dough forms.
  • Take small balls of dough and flatten them slightly. Place a teaspoon of liquid caramel in the center and seal the dough around it.
  • Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and centers appear slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter is at room temperature. Consider browning the butter for more flavor. Avoid overbaking for a chewy texture. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
