Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients and prep your workspace.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for approximately 14 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce once cooled.
