I have a problem… I live alone, but LOVE to bake and do so often. I’m always looking to share treats with friends and family so I don’t eat them all myself. My coworkers love when I feel like baking because I usually end up bringing in treats for them to enjoy! Many of them aren’t into baking, so they often forward recipes to me… just in case I feel the urge to bake and need ideas.
This recipe inspiration comes from a recipe one of my coworkers suggested. I just could’t resist adding my own twist. I love pretty cookies and I love a good drizzle. I love the combo of chocolate and caramel so I couldn’t resist drizzling both chocolate and caramel flavored candy melts on top of these sugar cookies.
My coworkers definitely were not complaining when I brought in these cookies for everyone for enjoy!
Here’s the recipe…
Sugar Cookies with a Chocolate Caramel Drizzle
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- chocolate candy melts for drizzling
- caramel flavored candy melts for drizzling
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Cream together butter, oil, sugar, and powdered sugar until combined and fluffy. Add egg. Add vanilla.
-
Combine dry ingredients. Slowly add to wet ingredients until well combined.
-
Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Slightly flatten. Bake until edges just begin to brown, approx. 8-10 minutes.
-
When cookies are cool, melt chocolate and drizzle over cookies. Melt caramel candy melts and drizzle over cookies. (Want a LOT of chocolate and caramel flavor? Try dunking the cookies instead of drizzling!) Allow chocolate to set before storing.
