Ingredients

  • 9 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon cream or whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Combine the butter, cream, white and brown sugars, and vanilla in a saucepan and stir over a medium heat.
  3. Cook, stirring constantly until it begins to bubble.
  4. Allow to cook only about 30 seconds more, then remove from heat and allow to cool to a warm temp.
  5. Sift the flour and baking soda together, add to the cooled caramel mixture and stir well.
  6. Scoop mixture into balls, place on a line baking sheet, and press down with a floured glass, or a fork (or your thumb!).
  7. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until easily removed.
  9. Cool on a wire rack.
  10. Devour.

Notes

  • Don't let the mixed dough cool too much, or it becomes crumbly and un-scoopable. You need to work fast so that it's still pliable, and able to be scooped onto cookie sheets.
