Time 1h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsulfured molasses
½ cup butter, melted
¼ cup evaporated milk
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
¼ cup butter, softened
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ (11 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
¼ cup half-and-half
1 pinch sea salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat.
  • Combine sugar, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl and mix well. Add molasses, melted butter, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract and mix well. Add flour, stirring constantly, 1 cup at a time until just combined. Add up to 1/4 cup of additional flour if dough is too sticky.
  • Place spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the dough with floured fingertips to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely before frosting, at least 30 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until well blended. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Beat frosting until creamy.
  • Combine caramels and half-and-half in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramels are completely melted and the sauce is blended, about 10 minutes.
  • Frost cooled cookies with the frosting, drizzle with the caramel sauce, and sprinkle with sea salt.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked them. The icing was good, though. I might try this recipe again, but I'll be sure to watch the baking time more carefully.

These cookies were easy to make and turned out great! I used a star tip to decorate them, and they looked very festive. The icing was a little thick for my taste, but that's just personal preference. Overall, I'm really happy with this recipe.
