1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

For the Cheesecake Frosting:

For the Salted Caramel Drizzle:

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Form the dough into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cookies.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
For longer storage, freeze cookies without frosting for up to 3 months. Frost before serving for optimal taste.
Adjust the sweetness by reducing powdered sugar in the frosting or using less caramel sauce if desired.
