These caramel meringue cookies are so easy to make and are incredibly delicious. They are as light as air, literally melt in your mouth and then you get a gooey chewiness from the caramel that surprises you in the center. Add a drizzle of dark chocolate on top and a sprinkle of sea salt and you have yourself an addicting treat.
Simply whip the meringue, pipe a small blob on the sheet pan, add a caramel candy, and then add more meringue on top. Make sure that the caramel is completely covered to prevent any leakage. I did this by using a small off-set spatula and then made a fun swirl on top of each cookie. feeling a little adventurous? Add a little food coloring to the meringue when you add the vanilla and salt and make a fun colored cookie.

Products I recommend
I personally use and recommend this tool for this recipe and to have for everyday use. One thing that I highly suggest getting when making french macarons is a silpat. A silpat is a reusable parchment paper and it's such a great investment. I find it easier to use a silpat versus parchment paper when making french macarons because it doesn't move around but it also makes it easier to remove the cookies too.
