CARAMEL COOKIES: simple and delicious to enjoy for breakfast!
published on 2 March, 2026 at 11:10
INGREDIENTS (makes about 20–25 cookies)
370g (3 cups) all-purpose flour
120g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) granulated sugar
30g (2 tbsp) brown sugar
200g (3/4 cup + 2 tbsp) butter
30ml (2 tbsp) heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
Brown sugar, as needed (for coating)
METHOD
1. Prepare the caramel: place a small saucepan over low heat with two tablespoons of granulated sugar and let it melt. As soon as it starts to turn amber, add another tablespoon of sugar and continue in the same way until all the sugar has been used.
2. The sugar should be completely melted and have a deep amber color.
3. Warm the cream and, once hot, carefully add it to the caramel. Stir vigorously until smooth.
4. Remove from the heat, add the butter in small pieces and the salt, then stir until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous cream. Let it cool completely.
5. In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, vanilla extract and the cooled caramel.
6. Mix until a workable dough forms. Transfer it to a work surface and knead until you obtain a smooth cylindrical log.
7. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
8. After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and roll the log in brown sugar to coat the outside.
9. Slice into rounds about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
10. Arrange the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
11. Bake at 180°C/350°F for about 18 minutes.
