Copycat Crumbl Salted Caramel (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Graham Cracker Cookie

01 - 1 1/2 cups salted butter, softened
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
04 - 2 eggs
05 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
06 - 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 2 packages graham crackers, crushed (approximately 2 1/2 cups of crumbs)
08 - 2 teaspoons baking soda
09 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
10 - 1 teaspoon salt

→ Cheesecake Frosting and Drizzle

11 - 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
12 - 7 ounces marshmallow creme
13 - 2 cups powdered sugar
14 - 1/3 cup caramel dip
15 - Coarse sea salt

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
03 - Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until light in color and creamy.
04 - Add the dry ingredients (flour, crushed graham crackers, baking soda, baking powder, and salt) to the wet mixture. Mix until completely combined.
05 - Portion out the dough into 1/2 cup portions. Roll into balls and arrange six onto each cookie sheet. Press down slightly to flatten until about 1 inch thick.
06 - Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cookies are turning golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
07 - While the cookies are cooling, whip the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add the marshmallow creme and mix until fully combined.
08 - Pipe the frosting onto the warm cookies in a spiral pattern using a zip-top bag with a clipped corner.
09 - Warm the caramel dip if necessary. Zig-zag the caramel over the frosting using a zip-top bag with a clipped corner. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
10 - Serve the cookies warm and enjoy.

# Additional Notes:

01 - If your caramel is cold, use the warmth of your hand to soften it for a smoother drizzle.
02 - To halve this recipe, divide all ingredients in half and follow the same baking instructions. Bake smaller cookies for a slightly shorter duration.
