Roll the dough back into a ball and place on the parchment lined cookie sheet, at least 3 inches apart. Sprinkle with additional sea salt. (These cookies are large and they spread out so it is best to bake 6 at a time on a cookie sheet).

Bake for 10 minutes and allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool. Actually, the cookies taste best warm while the caramel inside is still warm and gooey!

Enjoy!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
