Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg yolk

1 cup caramels, unwrapped (Werther’s or similar)

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Beat in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until well combined. Set aside.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream.

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramels are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie dough ball.

Spoon a small amount of the cheesecake filling into each indentation.

Drizzle the melted caramel sauce over the cheesecake filling.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
