Caramel by the Sea: Sea Salt Caramel Rollout Sugar Cookie Recipe

Growing up in California, I have been lucky enough to be able to enjoy all the amazing sights that we can visit all within a few hours from our home. One of our favorite day trips is the long drive down the Pacific Coast Highway. Getting all bundled up, driving with the windows down and letting the chilly sea salt air flow through the car. This highway is unlike any other. It twists and turns, in and out of mountain ranges, hugging seaside cliffs and crossing bridges suspended over ravines all while having the most amazing view of the Pacific Ocean.

I always looked forward to these trips and stopping by the little seaside candy shops along the boardwalk; filled with sea salt taffy, caramels and chocolates. When developing this recipe, I wanted to bring these childhood memories back to life. The sweet, buttery flavors with just a touch of saltiness. The mouthwatering first bite, and the smile that unfolds across your lips. We started this recipe off with a brown sugar and caramel whipped butter - but wanted to kick it up a notch, so we marbled the dough with more caramel sauce and added a dusting of flaky sea salt for a finishing touch. 

For a fun twist you can marble in our Apple Buttah recipe to make a Caramel Apple cookie or marble together our You Go Glenn Cocoa recipe to get a Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate cookie.
