Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ¾ cup softened butter with ⅓ cup granulated sugar and ⅓ cup brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla extract to the mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
  4. Gradually add 1½ cups flour, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp baking powder. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in 1½ cups crushed graham crackers with a spatula until thick and doughy.
  6. Portion out the dough using a 2-inch cookie scoop and roll each in ½ cup crushed graham crackers. Flatten each ball to about ¾ inch thick.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Beat together 8 oz cream cheese, 8 oz butter, and 2 tsp vanilla until smooth. Gradually add 2½ cups powdered sugar, mixing until thick.
  9. In a saucepan, heat 5 tbsp butter, 1¼ cups brown sugar, ½ cup whipping cream, and ¼ tsp salt until boiling, stirring for 5-7 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp vanilla after removing from heat.
  10. Once cookies are cooled, frost each with cream cheese frosting, and drizzle warm caramel over the top.
  11. Allow caramel to set for 20-30 minutes before serving.
