Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the whipped cream)
How to Make Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Stack
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the whipped cream by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble, stack two cookies, drizzle with caramel sauce, and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Repeat for additional stacks.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent caramel oatmeal cookie stack!
