GOOEY CARAMEL SAUCE



Gooey Caramel Sauce image

This caramel is very rich and gooey. It can be thinned with a little water to make a sauce for ice cream or it can be used as-is for a gooey candy filling. Great with apples too! Recipe can be doubled. Because the sugar can turn from caramel to burned rather quickly it is best to have all ingredients measured before starting.

Time 30m

Yield 1 cup, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cream
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup sugar in a stainless saucepan on medium heat, do not stir until sugar begins to melt.
  • Once sugar begins to melt, stir it until it has completely melted and begins to turn golden brown.
  • When sugar has started to turn caramel colored, remove pan from heat and immediately add butter and brown sugar and quickly stir together.
  • Once the butter and brown sugar are completely melded with the caramel (add gentle heat if needed to incorporate brown sugar), add the vanilla, corn syrup, cream and salt.
  • Stir together well.
  • The caramel will thicken as it cools.
  • If a thinner caramel is required, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired thickness is reached; if a thicker caramel is needed, reduce the amount of corn syrup used.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a chewy cookie.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges and still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before topping with the caramel frosting.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel, as it will become hard and brittle.

Conclusion:

These gooey caramel-topped gingersnaps are the perfect combination of chewy, spicy, and sweet. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these delicious cookies at home. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
