Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

How to Make Caramel Cream Sandwich Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
7. While the cookies cool, prepare the filling by beating the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
8. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
9. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the assembled cookies before serving. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
• Use high-quality caramel sauce for the best flavor; homemade is even better!
• For a thicker filling, add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Chocolate Lovers: Add cocoa powder to the cookie dough for a chocolate base, and use chocolate ganache instead of caramel for drizzling.
• Nutty Twist: Fold in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the cookie dough for added texture.
• Seasonal Flavors: Add spices like cinnamon or pumpkin spice for a seasonal touch during the holidays.

What to Serve With It

• A glass of cold milk for a classic pairing.
• A cup of coffee or espresso for a delightful afternoon treat.
• Ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
