Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar

Topping

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the flour, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
  2. Shape and bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in tablespoon-sized portions, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  3. Cool and drizzle caramel: Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the tops of the cookies for a sweet, gooey finish.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth dough.
  • You can substitute homemade caramel sauce or store-bought for convenience.
  • These cookies are soft when freshly baked; allow them to cool fully for optimal texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
