Using a large cookie scooper (¼ cup or 4 tbsp) scoop out 9 equally sized cookie dough balls, place them on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool down.
Make the cream cheese frosting
Cream the cream cheese, and butter, together until smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar, and caramel, and whip until light and fluffy.
