Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this dry mixture into the creamed butter and sugar mixture until just combined.

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and create a small indentation in the center of each.

Fill each indentation with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.

Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over each filled cookie.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
