Peanut Butter caramel cookies are an easy non-chocolate Christmas cookie recipe that is easy to make with a cookie mix for peanut butter blossoms with caramel.
Mix the peanut butter cookie mix together with the melted butter, egg, and water with a rubber spatula.
Use a small cookie scoop to form balls out of the cookie dough. Roll in sugar if you like the texture of peanut butter blossoms. Totally optional to do.
Cook for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute before transferring to a cooling rack. Use the back of the cookie scoop to make a well in the cookie.
Melt the caramels with the cream in the microwave for 20 seconds and stir. Repeat until caramels are melted.
Spoon the caramel into the cookie well. Top with a pinch of coarse salt.
Notes
*Optional. You do not need to roll the cookies in sugar.
