Indulge in irresistible Caramel Macchiato Cookies that you cant resist Experience the perfect blend of coffee and caramel in every bite
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon espresso powder (or instant coffee)
1 cup caramel bits
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
Fold in the caramel bits and chocolate chips, if using. The combination of gooey caramel and rich chocolate will provide an indulgent contrast to the espresso flavor.
For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent spreading during baking and enhances the cookie’s texture. You can cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
