Preparation Steps
1
Let the butter soften at room temperature until pliable. This will help create a soft and homogeneous cookie dough.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer for ease.
3
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and egg, then mix thoroughly until a uniform mixture forms.
4
Gradually sift in the flour and mix with a spatula or by hand until a pliable, non-sticky dough forms.
5
Gently fold the caramel pieces into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6
Shape the dough into a large ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and form small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, pressing them down slightly to create flatter cookies.
9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers remain soft.
10
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, sprinkle with a little extra salt for an intensified flavor.
