Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1½ cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup chilled caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine butter and sugar until creamy. Add in vanilla and egg until well-incorporated and then slowly add flour, baking powder, and salt. Shape dough into a ball. Cut into fourths and wrap each section tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
- Scoop 1 teaspoon of dough and then roll in between the palms of your hands until a ball, about the size of a walnut, has formed. Drop onto a cookie sheet. Press your thumb into the center of the dough ball to form a slight well. Repeat until all dough has been used.
- Place sheet pans in the freezer for about 12 minutes to firm to prevent spreading during baking.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes until brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slighty.
- Scoop ½ teaspoon of chilled caramel sauce to fill the center of the cookie.
- Store in an airtight container.
