That afternoon started out like any other, until work ran later than expected. After clocking out, I swung by the grocery store in our small town to pick up a few things before grabbing the kids.<\/p>\n

For very firm caramels, warm them briefly with 1 to 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until slightly softened, then chill again until firm. If using caramel sauce, spoon small dollops onto a parchment lined plate and refrigerate until solid.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4092\" data-end=\"4123\"><strong>Step 6: Shape the Cookies<br \/>\n<\/strong>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

They work just as well on a busy school night as they do on a relaxed weekend, and they disappear quickly no matter when they\u2019re served. There\u2019s nothing complicated about them, yet they always feel thoughtful on the table.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1812\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For me, baking these cookies is a simple way to slow the evening down. The process is steady, the ingredients are familiar, and the payoff is a kitchen that smells incredible and a family ready to gather around. Sometimes that\u2019s all a good recipe needs to do.<\/p>\n<div id=\"JumptoRecipe\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-48090\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"48090\"
