Caramel Macchiato Cookies
Description
Caramel Macchiato Cookies start with a tender dough made by creaming unsalted butter with sugar, incorporating an egg, and folding in a mixture of all-purpose flour and instant latte mix to infuse coffee flavor subtly throughout. The dough is formed into balls with a small indentation pressed into the center before baking until golden around the edges, maintaining a soft interior. After cooling, the indentations are filled with melted caramels softened with heavy cream, then topped with chocolate chips to add a rich contrast.
The melding of coffee-flavored dough, smooth caramel filling, and chocolate topping makes these cookies stand out with layered sweetness and a soft, chewy texture. They can be served as a dessert or alongside coffee or tea for a complementary flavor pairing.
Cookies should be cooled completely before filling to prevent the caramel from melting too much, and if stacking for storage, placing wax paper between layers helps prevent sticking. Handling the dough gently and baking just until edges are golden ensures the desired tender texture.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup butter , unsalted, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg , large
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoon instant latte mix Starbucks VIA White Chocolate Mocha flavor
- 16 caramels
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large bowl use a mixer to beat the butter and sugar together.
- Add egg and continue to mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- In a small bowl mix together flour and coffee powder.
- Turn mixer to low and add flour mixture. Do not over mix. Stop as soon as flour is combined.
- Make dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet 3-4 inches apart.
- Use the back of a teaspoon, or your thumb, to press down in the center of the ball to make an indentation.
- Bake until cookies are golden brown around edges, 18 - 20 minutes.
- When cookies come out of the oven use the back of the teaspoon to gently press the centers down again.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- Unwrap caramel candies and place them in a microwave safe bowl. Add heavy cream and microwave, 15 seconds at a time, until melted.
- Once the cookies have cooled fill each indentation with the caramel.
- Let caramel cool and then place the chocolate chips in a microwaveable dish and microwave for 15 seconds at a time until they are completely melted. Drizzle the top of the cookies with melted chocolate.
- Once chocolate has hardened serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Allow cookies to cool completely before filling the caramel centers to achieve the best texture.
- If storing cookies stacked, separate layers with wax paper to prevent sticking.
