Salted Cajeta Cookies Recipe

Name: Salted Cajeta Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/3 cup cornstarch; 1/3 cup brown sugar; 1/3 cup white sugar; 1 cup butter; 1 egg; 1/3 - 1/2 cup cajeta caramel syrup (depending on consistency, see my recipe); 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/8 cup milk; 1 teaspoon rice vinegar; 1 pinch coarse sea salt or 1 pinch volcanic black salt

Servings: persons

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
1/3 - 1/2 cup cajeta caramel syrup (depending on consistency, see my recipe)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 cup milk
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 pinch coarse sea salt or 1 pinch volcanic black salt

1
Sift your flour and combine it with the baking soda and cornstarch.
2
In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugars, and beat them to a uniform, fluffy texture. Add in the egg, vinegar, vanilla, and the cajeta (1/2 cup if it's syrupy and closer to the egg, 1/3 if it's closer to the butter mixture's texture), and beat again to a uniform, soft texture.
3
Add in your dry ingredients, and beat to a sticky, doughy consistency, adding in milk a little at a time to soften the batter (an electric mixer shouldn't have to struggle going through it at a medium speed).
4
Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray, and preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
5
Form balls of dough, roughly the size of a globed teaspoon, and space them on the sheet approximately 1.5 inches apart from each other. Flatten each ball slightly with your thumb. Take a pinch of salt, to your taste, and gingerly sprinkle it over the cookies, so that each cookie has a few visible granules on its surface.
6
Bake for 16 minutes, remove, cool, munch.
