Preparation

  5. In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  6. Scoop a spoonful of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, then add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top.
  7. Swirl the cream cheese into the cookie dough with a toothpick or knife.
  8. Drizzle salted caramel sauce over each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges look lightly golden.
  2. Allow them to cool before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to two weeks. Softened butter is key for mixing properly. Adjust the saltiness with the amount of salted caramel sauce.
