Preheat Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Cookie Dough:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

• In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

• Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Shape and Bake Cookies:

• Scoop about ¼ cup of dough for each cookie and roll into balls.

• Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

• Gently flatten each ball to about ½-inch thickness.

• Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Cheesecake Frosting:

• In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.

• Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until creamy and well combined.

Assemble the Cookies:

• Once cookies are completely cooled, spread or pipe the cheesecake frosting onto each cookie.

• Drizzle caramel sauce over the frosting.

• Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for garnish.
