These cookies are so decadent, yet really easy to make! We have a soft graham cracker cookie (that's rolled in graham crackers prior to baking), the cookie is topped with a caramel cream cheese frosting, a caramel drizzle, and flaky salt. It's to-die-for delicious!
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and light corn syrup and mix to combine.
Add the flour, 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and mix until combined.
Using a ¼ cup, portion the dough into round balls. Roll the balls in the remaining ¼ cup of graham cracker crumbs. Place 6 balls of dough on a baking sheet. Press on the tops of each ball with the palm of your hand to flatten each ball into a thick disk.
Bake for 10-11 minutes or until edges and tops are just set. (I baked mine for 10 minutes). You don’t want to overbake cookies.
Remove from the oven and let cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
Add cream cheese and butter to a bowl and beat until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and caramel extract and salt and mix until smooth. Add to a piping bag and then pipe the frosting on top of each cooled cookie.
Assembly
Drizzle, or spoon, the caramel sauce overtop of each cookie, working in a zig zag motion. I place the caramel in a ziplock bag, snip the corner off and then drizzle overtop. This allows the caramel to go on in a prettier fashion.
Sprinkle each cookie with a good dose of flaky sea salt! Enjoy!
Notes
Store leftover cookies covered in the fridge for 5-6 days. These cookies will need to be put in the refrigerator if not eaten within two hours. Store any leftover caramel cream cheese frosting in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-6 days.
