How to Make Caramel Frosting Brown Sugar Drops

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the caramel frosting:
  10. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup (1 stick) of butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and ¼ cup heavy cream.
  11. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  12. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  13. Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the caramel frosting over them.
