Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 24 soft caramel candies such as Werther’s or Kraft, unwrapped
- 1 tablespoon milk if needed for soft dough
- coarse sea salt optional, for garnish
Instructions
Step No.1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step No.2: Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
Step No.3: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and stir until combined. If dough is too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk.
Step No.4: Shape the Dough
- Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball, flatten slightly, and place one caramel candy in the center. Wrap dough around the caramel and roll into a smooth ball.
Step No.5: Bake the Cookies
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and slightly golden.
Step No.6: Cool and Enjoy
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired.
Notes
- For Extra Soft Cookies: Do not overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Stuffing Tip: If caramel candies are hard, microwave them for 5 seconds before stuffing into the dough.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies for extra indulgence.
- Crunchy Peanut Butter: Swap creamy peanut butter for crunchy to add texture.
- Salted Caramel Version: Use salted caramel candies for a sweet-salty flavor boost.
