Ingredients
  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter, at room temp
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp butter extract
  • 2¾ cup flour
  • 2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • For the Sauce:
  • 16 ounces of kraft caramel bites
  • 2 tsp pure cane syrup
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 3 Tbsp milk
Instructions
  1. Cream together the butter and sugars until nice and blended. Add in the eggs one at a time then the extracts. In a separate bowl combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in batches of 3. Mix until combined then add in 1 cup of the caramel bites. Store the dough in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350. Roll the dough into 2 inch balls and place on non-stick cookie sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Allow to cool while you make the sauce.
  3. In a medium saucepan melt the remaining caramel bites with the butter. Slowly add in the milk, then syrup then extract. Use more or less milk depending on the consistency you are looking for. If you want to glaze the cookies use more milk, if you are looking to just drizzle the cookies with the sauce like I did only use 3 TBSP. Allow cookies to cool once glazed until the caramel is set.
