  <h3>Instructions:</h3>

     <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Add the vanilla extract and mix well</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to create an indentation in the center of each dough ball</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of salted caramel sauce</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely</span></p>

   <p><span itemprop="recipeInstructions">Once cooled, the caramel will set, and the cookies are ready to enjoy!</span></p>
