Ingredients

  • Three-fourth cup of unwrapped individually packaged caramels like Kraft®
  • One-fourth cup of half-and-half
  • Softened butter measuring one cup
  • One-third cup of firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • A single egg
  • Three-fourth teaspoon of sea salt
  • Three cups of all-purpose flour

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for the perfect bake.

Step 2

In a saucepan, combine the delightful caramels with the creamy half-and-half. Set the pan over low heat, gently stirring until the caramels melt into a luscious concoction, which should take around 5 minutes.

Step 3

Moving on to the bowl, whip up a delectable mixture of butter and rich brown sugar using an electric mixer until it reaches a fluffy consistency. Then, crack in an egg, a pinch of salt, and blend in the smooth caramel sauce. Gradually add the flour and continue beating until everything is well combined.

Step 4

Now, load up a cookie press with this irresistible dough and start pressing out delightful shapes onto your awaiting baking sheets, ensuring each cookie has enough space to spread about 1 to 2 inches apart.

Step 5

Pop these treats into the preheated oven and let them bake until the edges turn a beautiful golden hue, typically around 8 to 10 minutes. Enjoy the sweet aroma that fills your kitchen as your delightful treats come to life.
