Caramel Cookies Recipe
Description
Caramel Cookies Recipe features a dough enriched with brown and white sugar creamed together with softened butter for a tender texture. Mixed with flour, baking soda, and salt, the dough holds chocolate and caramel chips evenly distributed. Baking at 350°F yields cookies with a golden edge and soft center. Pressing caramel candy pieces onto each cookie immediately after removal from the oven lets the caramel soften and blend into the surface. Coarse salt is sprinkled on top to offer a contrasting savory note that enhances the sweetness.
The melting caramel creates a distinct sticky topping that pairs well with the buttery and chocolaty cookie base. Each bite offers a balance between chewy cookie and creamy caramel patches, complemented by the occasional chocolate chip.
This cookie recipe is suitable for occasions where a sweet, rich treat is desired. They can be served alongside coffee or milk, making a satisfying dessert or snack that showcases the combination of chocolate, caramel, and salt.
Ingredients
- 3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt coarse
- 1 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel chips
- 18 caramel candies such as Werther's, each piece cut into 6 segments
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- In a bowl add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix.
- In a separate bowl, or a mixing bowl, beat together brown sugar, butter, and white sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until fluffy. Add the vanilla and mix.
- Add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture. Mix until dough is combined.
- Fold in the chocolate and caramel chips. Roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch-2 inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes,
- Right when the cookies come out of the oven press 3 caramel pieces into the top of each cookie and then sprinkle with coarse salt. The caramels will melt and the salt will set in. If needed, place the cookies back into the oven for an additional minute to help the caramel pieces melt in the cookie.
