     Title: Gochujang Caramel Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Chilies
     Yield: 8 Servings

   1/2 c  Unsalted butter (115 g);
          - very soft
     2 tb Dark brown sugar; packed
     1 tb Gochujang; heaping
     1 c  Granulated sugar (200 g)
     1 lg Egg; room temperature
   1/2 ts Coarse kosher salt
   1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
     1 ts Vanilla extract
   1/2 ts Baking soda
 1 1/2 c  A-P flour (185 g)

 In a small bowl, stir together 1 tb butter, brown sugar, and
 gochujang until smooth. Set aside for later, at room temperature.

 In a large bowl, by hand, whisk together the remaining 7 tb butter,
 granulated sugar, egg, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth,
 about 1 minute. Switch to a flexible spatula and stir in the baking
 soda. Add the flour and gently stir to combine. Place this large
 bowl in the refrigerator until the dough is less sticky but still
 soft and pliable, 15 to 20 minutes.

 While the dough is chilling, heat the oven to 350 F and line
 2 large sheet pans with parchment.

 Remove the dough from the refrigerator. In 3 to 4 separately spaced
 out blobs, spoon the gochujang mixture over the cookie dough.
 Moving in long circular strokes, swirl the gochujang mixture into
 the cookie dough so you have streaks of orange-red rippled
 throughout the beige. Be sure not to overmix at this stage, as you
 want wide, distinct strips of gochujang.

 Use an ice cream scoop to plop out 1/4 cup rounds spaced at least
 3" apart on the sheet pans. (You should get 4 to 5 cookies per
 pan.) Bake until lightly golden at the edges and dry and set in the
 center, 11 to 13 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Let
 cool completely on the sheet pan; the cookies will flatten slightly
 and continue cooking as they cool. The cookies will keep in an
 airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
