Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup Butter ((softened))
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/3 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 to 6 * cups Caramel Corn ((see notes))

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes. scrape the sides of the bowl, halfway through the time to ensure even mixing. This helps to give the butter time to coat the sugar crystals to create a smooth and creamy cookie texture
  • Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
  • Fold in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in 4 cups of caramel corn and mix for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to help break up some of the caramel corn into smaller pieces.
  • Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line light-colored baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop cookie dough onto baking sheet and make sure to spread them apart in case of spreading.
  • Top each cookie dough ball with a few caramel corns. Bake at 350 degrees for 11-14 minutes.
  • When you remove them from the oven, if the cookies have spread, take a spatula and carefully press the edges of the cookie towards the center to shape it into a circle. To make the cookies look extra gourmet, add a few more caramel corn balls on top of the cookies. For an extra salty-sweet cookie, sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
