Whiskey Caramel Cookies

1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tbsp Water
2 1/4 cup Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
Topping:
24 Caramels

3 oz Chocolate, melted
Sea Salt( optional)
Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl until crumbly. Mix in the vanilla and water. Sift together the dry ingredients and gradually beat into the butter mixture.
Shape into 1 inch balls and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass dipped in flour.
Bake @350°f for 7-9 minutes or until edges are lightly brown. Immediately use the bottom of a teaspoon to put a slight indent in the middle of each cookie. Cool in pan for a few minutes and then remove onto a wire rack to cool.
Melt caramels and whiskey in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Spread in the middle of each cookie. Drizzle with melted chocolate and put a few sprinkles of sea salt on top of so desired.
