Caramel almond cookies, with their crispy edges, chewy centers, and buttery caramel sweetness, are a delightful treat. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to baking these irresistible cookies at home.
### Ingredients
You’ll need: 1 cup softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 cup sliced almonds. For the caramel, use 1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade).
### Steps
1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in Almonds: Gently fold in sliced almonds.
6. Shape & Fill: Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet. Press a small indentation in the center of each and fill with 1/2 tsp caramel sauce.
7. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
### Tips
- For extra crunch, toast almonds at 350°F for 5 minutes before using.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Drizzle extra caramel over cooled cookies for added sweetness.
