SALTED CARAMEL COOKIES



Salted Caramel Cookies image

These soft and buttery cookies get dressed up with a thin layer of salted caramel and a dusting of flaky sea salt for good measure. Using store-bought caramels makes the process especially easy and ensures that the coating has some satisfying chew to it. Be sure to err on the side of under-baking the cookies, so they remain soft and tender.

Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature
1 cup/220 grams light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 ounces/225 grams store-bought soft caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Position oven racks near the center and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and fine sea salt and mix until fully incorporated. Scrape the dough out of the bowl and divide it in half. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap, patting into a 1-inch-thick disk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon-size portions (you should have about 20). Using your hands, roll the dough into balls and place on the baking sheets, staggering dough and leaving about 2 1/2 inches between pieces.
  • Wipe the bottom of a glass with a damp towel and use it to press the cookies flat (they should be about 1/3-inch thick).
  • Bake the cookies, rotating the sheets halfway through baking, until the edges are golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Place the unwrapped caramels and cream in a microwave-safe bowl or liquid measuring cup. Microwave the mixture for 30 to 45 seconds and stir well. Continue to microwave in 15-second increments until the caramels are fully melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. (You could also do this on the stovetop in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.)
  • Once the cookies have cooled completely, spoon a generous teaspoon of caramel into the center of each cookie. Spread the caramel evenly over the surface, leaving a 1/4-inch uncoated edge. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
  • If the caramel becomes too thick as you work, reheat in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between, or over medium-low heat on the stovetop, until fluid.
  • Let the cookies cool at room temperature until the caramel sets, about 15 minutes, before serving.

SALTED CARAMEL WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Salted Caramel White Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I'm addicted to the sweet and salty combination of flavors these days. I based this recipe off of my Junk in the Trunk cookies with a few ingredient changes and a little tweaking here and there. I made, and remade and remade this dough as well as tried various methods of baking. This is very much a Tried and True recipe. They...

Provided by Lynn Socko

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 1/2 stick butter, unsalted
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
11 oz caramel bits, or caramel chips**
8 oz white chocolate chips
1 c pecans, chopped
coarse sea salt
**parchment paper muffin tin liners or silpats
**cupcake muffin tins

Steps:

  • 1. 12.2019 NOTE: I found some Caramel Chips this year and used them and they do not stick like the bits do, so if you use those instead no need so the paper cups, I just used my silpats and they can right up like any other cookie.
  • 2. NOTE: It is advisable to have several cupcake tins to work with, these must cool about 10-15 min before removing from tin. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Cut out the bottom of the muffin paper liners leaving a slight edge up the side. Place them in your cupcake tin. I highly suggest you use ONLY white parchment paper line liners, Wilton makes them and I have found other brands. For some reason the colored cupcake papers will stick to the cookies. Another alternative that I did not have when I first started making these is to use Silpats, you can eliminate the muffin tins and liners and bake on a cookie sheet with silpat instead.
  • 3. Mix together butter, sugars, baking soda and salt till well combined. Add vanilla and egg and mix for 1 min. on med speed. Add flour a little at a time and mix on low, scraping sides of bowl as you go. If dough seems a little too dry just add a few drops of water to dough and mix.
  • 4. Once well combined I found that if I change from my ladle to my my dough hook it works better. Add both chips and pecans in by sprinkling them all around your mixing bowl. Turn mixer on lowest speed and mix together for about 30 sec. Scrap sides and repeat.
  • 5. Scoop dough out with a Tablespoon scoop and place on liners in cupcake tin or on silpat lined cookie sheet.
  • 6. Bake 375° for 9-10 minutes. (Baking time may vary from oven to oven). Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on top and VERY GENTLY place your fingers on top of the salt to make sure it adheres to the cookie, otherwise the salt tends to fall off when removing the cookie from the liner. IMPORTANT: Leave cookies in cupcake tin for at least 10 min, cookie should be cool when removing from tin. Leave cookie in liner for another 10-15 min then gently remove liner.

SALTED CARAMEL SHORTBREAD COOKIES



SALTED CARAMEL SHORTBREAD COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Quick & Easy

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
kosher salt
3 sticks butter (3/4 pound), unsalted, room temperature
1 cup sugar, plus extra
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Pour the milk into a pie plate, stir in 1/4 teaspooon kosher salt, and cover it tightly with foil. Put the pie plate in a big roasting pan, and fill the pan halfway up the pie plate with hot water. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, adding more water if necessary. Let cool, then whisk until smooth. Meanwhile, make the cookies.Set the oven at 350 degrees. The butter has to be room temp for this to work well, so what I did was set the butter out first thing in the morning, make the caramel, then about 15 minutes before that was done, I made the cookies. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer. Add the vanilla. Mix the salt with the flour, then add the dry ingredients a little at a time and mix until the dough comes together. I formed the dough into square logs (though you can make it into a plate shape and roll it out; I just hate doing cut-out cookies). Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes. Slice or cut the dough into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick cookies (mine were like 1/3 an inch). They don't spread much, so you can get quite a few on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with reserved sugar. Bake for 20-24 minutes, switching the cookie sheets halfway through to get even cooking. Keep an eye on them because they go from perfect to burned fast. Put wax paper under your cooling rack. Remove cookies from the oven, place on the cooling racks. Heat the caramel for 30 seconds in the microwave, then put it in a Ziploc bag and snip one end (to make a homemade pastry bag). Drizzle cookies with caramel, then sprinkle with kosher salt.

½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¾ cup chopped toasted pecans
44 caramel candies
6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
coarse sea salt
1 (6 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 to 4 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Press dough together in plastic wrap; roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  • Place beaten eggs in one small dish and pecans in another dish. Dip each dough ball into the eggs and roll in pecans. Place dredged balls on the prepared baking sheets; press your thumb into the center of each ball.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Press each cookie again, with a spoon. Return to the oven and continue baking until golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool on wire racks.
  • Combine caramels and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth, 4 to 6 minutes. Spoon the mixture into the thumbprints of the cookies and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in oil. Drizzle chocolate over the cookies.
