Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups caramel cake mix
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 Tbsp. butter softened
- 6 Tbsp. shortening
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 24 Kraft caramels unwrapped
- 2 tbsp water
- 1-2 tbsp sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together together flour, cake mix, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until creamy.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not OVERMIX the dough.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Scoop by rounded tablespoons of the cold dough onto a a parchment or silicon lined baking sheet. Shape your cookie dough balls to be “taller” than they are wide. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are obviously done. The centers will still appear very soft, but the cookies will set as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Microwave the caramels and water together for 1 minute (addition time if needed). Drizzle over top of the cookies and sprinkle with sea salt.
