Caramel Drizzle
While the cookies are cooling, you can prepare the caramel drizzle. If you have store-bought caramel sauce, simply heat it slightly in the microwave for a few seconds to make it pourable. Alternatively, you can make your own by heating a small amount of sugar until it melts and forms a caramel sauce.
Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of each cookie for an extra layer of sweetness. You can also dip the edges of the cookies into the caramel sauce for a more indulgent touch.
Serving Suggestions
These Caramel Cheesecake Cookies are perfect on their own or paired with a cup of coffee or milk. They also make a great addition to any dessert platter, adding a creamy and caramel-infused twist to your spread. Serve them for birthdays, holidays, or just as a sweet treat to enjoy with family and friends.
Make-Ahead & Storage
You can prepare these cookies ahead of time and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. To keep them fresh for longer, you can refrigerate them. If you have leftover caramel drizzle, store it separately in the refrigerator and reheat it slightly before using it again. These cookies can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
Tips
- If you want to make these cookies even richer, you can fold in some mini chocolate chips or a handful of chopped nuts into the dough before baking.
- For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese, though the texture may differ slightly.
- Feel free to experiment with other toppings like sea salt or crushed graham crackers for a fun twist on the caramel cheesecake flavor.
