Caramel Cheesecake Cookies

Caramel Cheesecake Cookies – My Sweetest Cookie Creation Yet!

If you’re anything like me, you love combining two desserts into one bite of magic. That’s exactly how these Caramel Cheesecake Cookies came to life—soft cookies with a creamy cheesecake center and gooey caramel on top. Every time I make them, they disappear fast. Let me show you how I do it:

Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar

• ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

• ¼ tsp baking soda

• Pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened

• ¼ cup (50g) powdered sugar

• ¼ tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

• ¼ cup (60ml) caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

• Flaky sea salt (a generous pinch)

How I Make These Cookies (Step by Step)

1. Preheat & Prep:
I always start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining my baking sheet with parchment paper. No sticking = happy cookies!

2. Mix the Dough:
In a large bowl, I cream together the softened butter with both sugars until fluffy. Then I add the egg and vanilla—can’t skip those for flavor.

In a separate bowl, I whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt, then slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet. The result? A soft, dreamy dough.

3. Whip Up the Cheesecake Filling:
In a small bowl, I mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. This creamy filling is the heart of the cookie!

4. Assemble the Cookies:
I scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, flatten them, and place a small spoonful of that cheesecake filling right in the center. Then, I gently fold the dough around the filling, seal it, and roll it into a ball again. Onto the baking sheet they go.

5. Bake Time:
I bake them for about 12–14 minutes until the edges turn golden but the centers are still soft. Letting them cool on the baking sheet is key—they finish setting as they rest.

6. Caramel + Sea Salt Magic:
Once they’re cool, I drizzle warm caramel sauce over each cookie and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. The sweet and salty combo is irresistible.
