Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Soft caramels, unwrapped and chopped
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped soft caramels gently with a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.
If desired, sprinkle the freshly baked cookies with a pinch of coarse sea salt while they are still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your gooey, chocolatey caramel cookies with a glass of milk!
