Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups salted butter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
Frosting
- 3/4 cup salted butter
- 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- heavy cream
- 3 tsp clear vanilla extract
- caramel dip *like the kind sold by the apples in the grocery store
- flakey sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a cookie sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter and granulated sugar using either a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the eggs, vanilla extract and canola oil.Once incorporated, add in the flour and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Portion out the dough into 1/3 of a cup portions (a #12 scoop is perfect). Roll into a ball and then flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass before baking.
- Bake at 350° F for 11-13 minutes or until the cookies have spread and the center of the cookie no longer looks wet and glossy.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan.
- Once the cookies have cooled, make the frosting.
- To make the frosting, slowly cream the butter until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar one cup at a time. Add a splash of heavy cream to the bowl to help incorporate the powdered sugar into the butter.
- Repeat the last step until all 4 1/2 cups of powdered sugar has been added.
- Add in the clear vanilla extract.
- Add more heavy cream to thin the frosting, if needed.
- Generously frost each cookie and drizzle the caramel on top and finish with flakey sea salt. Serve chilled.
