Salted Caramel Cookies

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 390°F (199°C). If chilling the dough, preheat the oven later.
2. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for at least 4 minutes, scraping the bowl often.
3. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla for 1 minute. Stir in the caramel sauce.
4. Fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. When using flaky sea salt on top, reduce the salt in the dough to 1/2 tsp.
5. For less spreading, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes; chill for up to 24 hours for firmer dough and less spreading.
6. Roll into balls and place on a parchment-lined, preferably light-colored baking sheet.
7. Bake for 8-11 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges. Let the cookies set on the pan for several minutes.
8. Drizzle with additional caramel and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired.
