Ingredients
  

  • For the Cookie Dough:
  • 1 ½ cups butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups crushed graham crackers about 2 packs
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • For the Cheesecake Frosting:
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 7 oz marshmallow fluff
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • For the Topping:
  • cup caramel dip not caramel sauce
  • Coarse sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, crushed graham crackers, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Step 2: Shape & Bake the Cookies
  • Scoop ½ cup-sized portions of dough for large cookies (or ¼ cup for smaller ones).
  • Roll into balls, slightly flatten, and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges turn golden brown.
  • Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  • Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Frosting
  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add marshmallow fluff and mix well.
  • Gradually sift in powdered sugar, beating until fluffy.
  • Step 4: Assemble & Drizzle Caramel
  • Once cookies have cooled, pipe a swirl of cheesecake frosting onto each one.
  • Warm the caramel dip slightly and drizzle over the frosting.
  • Sprinkle with coarse sea salt for a gourmet touch.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freezing: Freeze unfrosted cookies for up to 3 months; frost after thawing.
  • Caramel Tip: Use caramel dip, not sauce, to avoid runny toppings.
  • Flavor Variations: Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or drizzle with white chocolate for extra indulgence.
