Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Salted Caramel Cheesecake Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Scoop the cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each scoop.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers remain soft.
  7. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, then drizzle with warmed salted caramel sauce before serving.
