Salted Caramel Cookies

Ingredients

• •2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• •1 cup butter, softened
• •3/4 cup granulated sugar
• •1 egg yolk
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1 cup caramel sauce
• •1 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in egg yolk and vanilla extract.
3. 3Mix in flour and salt until just combined to form dough.
4. 4Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, flatten slightly, and make a small indent in the center of each.
5. 5Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are lightly golden, then remove from oven.
6. 6Fill each indent with 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
7. 7Return to oven for 2-3 minutes until caramel softens, then cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

💡 Flaky salt belongs on salted-caramel cookies after baking or just before the oven; mixing it entirely into the dough loses the sharp salty contrast.
