Guide or Summary：
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sea salt flakes, for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sugars are dissolved.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and turns a rich golden color.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the caramel mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure that your cookies spread evenly and bake evenly.
- If your caramel mixture starts to seize up, you can add a little more heavy cream to thin it out.
- For an extra crunchy texture, let your cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
