Caramel Sauce

I’m making some cookies tomorrow and I wanted to get a head start today by making the caramel sauce. It’s super easy and delicious 🤤

Instructions:

•Add sugar to a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Give it a gently shake so the sugar is in an even layer. Add water (do not stir).

•Place pot over medium heat and cook until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear, about 3 minutes. Mixture may bubble a bit, that’s expected.

•Continue cooking over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, but not stirring with a spoon or spatula. The mixture will caramelize and turn amber-colored in about 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on the mixture to make sure it doesn’t burn.

•Add the butter pieces (be careful, the mixture will bubble). Whisk until melted.

•Turn off the heat and slowly add the heavy cream in a steady stream while whisking the mixture. Whisk in the vanilla.

•Let the caramel cool in the pan until it’s cool enough to taste. Add salt if desired. Transfer mixture to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 1 month.

(It says not to use a spatula in the instructions but I had no issues using one lol)
