Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add cream cheese and egg, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring until no dry ingredients remain.
  5. If the dough is sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes.
  6. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets with enough space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are lightly golden brown. The centers should look slightly underbaked.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, drizzle salted caramel sauce over the tops of each cookie.
