  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
  • 16 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the hard caramel and set aside to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together light brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and flour until well combined.
