  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Create a small indentation in the center of each cookie using your thumb or the back of a spoon.
  10. Fill the indentation of each cookie with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
  11. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over each cookie generously.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  13. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
