Ingredients
For the Cookies:
¾ cup butter, softened
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup additional graham cracker crumbs (for rolling)
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz butter, softened
2½ cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Caramel Topping:
1¼ cups brown sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream
5 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in eggs and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Scoop dough with a 2-inch scoop, roll in remaining graham cracker crumbs, and place on baking sheet.
Flatten each cookie slightly to ¾ inch thick.
Bake 8–10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to rack.
For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until fluffy.
For caramel, combine all caramel topping ingredients in a saucepan. Boil, then simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
Frost cooled cookies and drizzle with slightly cooled caramel sauce.
Notes
Chill the dough before baking to reduce spreading.
Substitute graham crumbs with crushed vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits if needed.
Use a zip-top bag as a piping alternative for frosting.
Store-bought caramel works in a pinch, but homemade offers richer flavor.
