Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Cheesecake Frosting:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • For finishing:
  • Caramel sauce (store‑bought or homemade)
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and light.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing in vanilla after the eggs until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tbsp per cookie), place on prepared baking sheets, and flatten slightly.
  7. Bake for 10‑12 minutes until edges are set and centers still soft. Allow to cool completely on wire racks.
  8. While cookies cool, make frosting: beat cream cheese (softened) with powdered sugar (and vanilla if using) until smooth and pipeable.
  9. Once cookies are fully cooled, spread or pipe cheesecake frosting onto each cookie.
  10. Drizzle caramel sauce over frosting and sprinkle a little sea salt on top. Chill for 10 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use graham cracker crumbs for that cheesecake crust flavor—homemade or store‑bought both work.
  • Make sure cookies are completely cooled before frosting, or frosting will melt.
  • Store frosted cookies in the fridge due to cream cheese topping.
  • For gluten‑free version, use GF flour and GF graham crackers.
  • Variation: swap mascarpone for cream cheese in the frosting for a lighter texture.
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, chocolate drizzle, or Nutella drizzle for extra indulgence.
