Best 5 Salted Caramel Kiss Cookie Recipes

SALTED CARAMEL COOKIES

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.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

• Combine browned butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix well. Slowly incorporate flour mixture into butter mixture, mixing until well combined; do not overmix. Allow dough to chill in the refrigerator for 40 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Drop chilled dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are light golden brown, 10 to 13 minutes.

SALTED CARAMEL KISS COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat butter in medium skillet over medium heat until melted. When butter melts slowly swirl the pan and continue to cook the butter until it becomes a nice, brown-caramel color. The swirling helps it from burning. Let cool for 15 minutes. Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl and set aside. When butter is cooled mix 1 3/4 cup light brown sugar and browned butter with electric mixer until no lumps remain, about 30 seconds. Add egg, yolk and vanilla and mix for another 30 seconds, until smooth. Slowly add in your flour mixture and mix on medium-low until incorporated. Combine remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl. Roll cookie dough into 2 inch balls (a heaping tablespoon) and then roll in sugar mixture. Place on lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake approx 12 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Do not over-bake. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven press a caramel chocolate candy into the center of each. Sprinkle each with a pinch of flaked sea salt and transfer to wire rack to continue cooling.
