Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 20 soft caramel cubes, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl, beating well until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 0.5 cup for later.
Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. Allow it to cool completely in the pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramel cubes and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each session, until smooth and pourable.
Pour the melted caramel over the cooled cookie bars, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let it set for 10-15 minutes.
Melt the reserved 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and the milk chocolate chips together in a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving in 15-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer in decorative patterns. Let the bars cool completely until the chocolate sets.
Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang, cut into 12 squares or rectangles, and serve.
