Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then blend in room temperature cream cheese until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to form mounds of dough on the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
  8. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce once cooled.
