What it is
These are sweet baked goods featuring a classic cookie dough base enriched with the distinct flavor of caramel. A touch of salt is added to balance the sweetness and enhance the overall taste profile. They are typically round and have a slightly chewy or crisp texture, depending on the specific preparation. The combination of sweet caramel and savory salt makes them a popular treat for many occasions.

These cookies are ready to eat straight from the package. They are ideal for a quick snack break during the day or as a sweet ending to a meal.
