Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup caramel sauce
Sweeteners and Binding Agents:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Flavor Enhancers and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (optional, for salted caramel flavor)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Create a creamy base by thoroughly blending butter with brown and granulated sugars until achieving a light, fluffy texture.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, ensuring a smooth and well-integrated consistency.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, and salt, then gently fold into the wet ingredients, mixing until just integrated to maintain a tender cookie structure.
- Distribute white chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even dispersion for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Carefully portion the dough into rounded tablespoon-sized spheres, positioning them with sufficient spacing on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, watching for delicate golden edges as the indicator of perfect doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, enabling them to firm up slightly before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Once completely cooled, drizzle with caramel sauce, creating an elegant finishing touch that enhances the cookies’ rich flavor profile.
Notes
- Customize caramel drizzle by using salted or dark caramel for deeper flavor complexity.
- Experiment with different white chocolate chip brands to find your preferred sweetness and texture.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar texture and consistency.
