Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, ¾ cup of granulated sugar, and ¾ cup of brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of baking powder until mixed.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Slowly fold in 1 cup of crushed graham crackers until evenly dispersed.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form 2-inch balls of cookie dough and roll in additional crushed graham cracker crumbs.
- Flatten the balls slightly to about ¾ inch thick and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden around the edges, then let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the frosting by beating together 8 oz of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of softened butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in 2 cups of powdered sugar until fluffy.
- In a saucepan, combine ½ cup of brown sugar, ¼ cup of butter, and ¼ cup of whipping cream over medium heat.
- Cook while stirring for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Drizzle the cooled caramel sauce over the cookies once they are completely cooled.

Notes
Ensure butter is softened for the best texture, mix only until combined, and cool caramel before drizzling for an appealing finish.
