How to Make Cookie Butter Salted Caramel

Salted caramel is one of those simple ingredients that makes everything delicious. What makes it even better is that it is ridiculously easy to make at home! Does it get any better? I asked myself that same question and came up with today’s very tasty Cookie Butter Salted Caramel! Cookie butter, especially the Biscoff kind, always results in something amazing, so adding it to salted caramel seemed like a great experiment which yielded delectable results!

Equipment:

  • Medium-size, heavy-bottomed, high-sided saucepan
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Liquid measuring cups

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick or 55 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature*
  • 1/2 cup (120 grams) cookie butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

*Note: This caramel results in a very thick caramel. If you would like a thinner consistency, replace the 1/4 cup unsalted butter with an additional 1/4 cup heavy cream.

Directions:

  1. Add the sugar into the saucepan and place on high heat on the stove. Periodically move the sugar with the spatula. (As the sugar melts, it will start to clump up while moving it around. This is perfectly fine, simply continue to move it around the pan.)
  2. Once the sugar completely melts and reaches a deep amber color, immediately remove the pan from the stove. Carefully** add in the heavy cream, whisking constantly while doing so.
  3. Add the unsalted butter and cookie butter and stir constantly until they are fully incorporated.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Once thoroughly mixed, carefully pour into an airtight container. Let it cool until it is closer to room temperature, close the lid, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy whipping cream

  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick or 55 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature*

  • 1/2 cup (120 grams) cookie butter

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Add the sugar into the saucepan and place on high heat on the stove. Periodically move the sugar with the spatula. (As the sugar melts, it will start to clump up while moving it around. This is perfectly fine, simply continue to move it around the pan.)
  • Once the sugar completely melts and reaches a deep amber color, immediately remove the pot from the stove. Carefully** add in the heavy cream, whisking constantly as you do so.
  • Add the unsalted butter and cookie butter and stir constantly until they are fully incorporated.
  • Add the pure vanilla extract and salt. Once thoroughly mixed, carefully pour into an airtight container. Let it cool until it is closer to room temperature, close the lid, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Notes

  • *This recipe results in a very thick caramel. If you want a thinner consistency, replace the 1/4 cup unsalted butter with 1/4 cup of heavy cream.
  • **The cold cream and room temperature butter are drastically different in temperature from the extremely hot sugar. As soon as you add these items, especially the cold cream, the mixture will bubble vigorously and release a lot of steam. When this happens, make sure that you are leaning slightly away from the pot and that you continuously stir until the dairy is fully incorporated into the sugar.
  • After adding the dairy, if it seems like the caramel is having trouble combining with the dairy, put it back over medium heat on the stove and stir until it becomes homogeneous.
