  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the softened cream cheese, mixing on low speed until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, portion out uniform dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the tops appear set.
  8. Once cooled, drizzle cookies with salted caramel sauce, warming if necessary.
