Have you ever had a Salted Caramel Mocha from Starbucks?? Sinful!
The sad part is they are only around for 2 seconds in the fall. I made sure I had my fill this Fall. These cookies bring me back to those magical moments.
When I found this recipe, I told myself to calm down, take a deep breath, and think about where to incorporate this into the cookie challenge. I HAD to make these.
Salt on a cookie? I had to do it. It was calling my name…
All the waiting paid off, these are delicious! Just as sinful as the Mocha I won’t be able to have until next Fall. I am pretty confident these will fill the void until that time of year again.
They are calling your name now to… you know it….. make me…. make me…. make me…..
