- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups (180 grams) powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (100 grams) crushed graham crackers
- ½ cup (120 grams) caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ cup (60 grams / 2 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for cookie dough)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for cream cheese frosting)
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, ensuring a uniform dry ingredient blend with consistent texture.
- Wet Ingredient Fusion: Cream butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Integrate eggs and vanilla extract thoroughly, creating a smooth, aerated mixture.
- Dough Development: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, forming a cohesive dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to enhance flavor and stabilize structure.
- Baking Sequence: Preheat oven to 175C (350F). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion dough into 1/4 cup mounds, slightly flattening each on the prepared surface.
- Baking and Cooling: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden. Remove and allow cookies to cool completely, preparing for frosting application.
- Frosting Creation: Whip cream cheese and butter until silky. Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until achieving a light, luxurious frosting consistency.
- Final Assembly: Generously spread or pipe cheesecake frosting over cooled cookies. Finish with an elegant salted caramel drizzle and delicate sea salt flake sprinkle.
- Storage: Refrigerate decorated cookies, preserving their delectable quality for up to five days.
Notes
- Chill Dough Strategically: Refrigerate cookie dough for minimum 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading and enhance flavor complexity during baking.
- Master Precise Portioning: Use a 1/4 cup measuring scoop to ensure uniform cookie sizes, guaranteeing consistent baking and professional presentation.
- Control Caramel Drizzling: Warm caramel sauce slightly to achieve perfect drizzling consistency, preventing thick globs and ensuring elegant, thin streams across cookie surfaces.
- Adapt for Dietary Needs: Substitute gluten-free graham crackers and flour for celiac-friendly version; replace butter with plant-based alternatives for vegan adaptation.
