Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 1 unit large egg
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dulce de leche
• 10 pieces soft caramels
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 5

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Using the back of a spoon or your thumb, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie.

Step 7

Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of dulce de leche.

Step 8

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and melted.

Step 10

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 11

Allow the caramel to set for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
