Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes. scrape the sides of the bowl, halfway through the time to ensure even mixing. This helps to give the butter time to coat the sugar crystals to create a smooth and creamy cookie texture
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in 4 cups of caramel corn and mix for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to help break up some of the caramel corn into smaller pieces.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line light-colored baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop cookie dough onto baking sheet and make sure to spread them apart in case of spreading.
- Top each cookie dough ball with a few caramel corns. Bake at 350 degrees for 11-14 minutes.
- When you remove them from the oven, if the cookies have spread, take a spatula and carefully press the edges of the cookie towards the center to shape it into a circle. To make the cookies look extra gourmet, add a few more caramel corn balls on top of the cookies. For an extra salty-sweet cookie, sprinkle with sea salt flakes.

Notes
- HOMEMADE CARAMEL CORN RECIPE
- Caramel Corn -- use homemade caramel corn or store-bought caramel corn. I have used both homemade and store-bought with great success. This recipe calls for 4-6 cups of caramel corn. A typical bag of caramel corn is 6 cups for 8 ounces.
- I add 4 to 5 cups of caramel corn to the cookie dough and save the remaining 1 cup to place on the top of the cookies right before and after baking.
