Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips/Chunks
- 20 soft caramels (divided)
- sea salt
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until melted and a golden color. Remove from the skillet and place in a mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar and sugar and mix in a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer until smooth, which will take about 4-5 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes before adding the eggs. This mixture may not look completely smooth until the eggs and vanilla extract are added.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Add in vanilla extract and stir together. Then add in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Before adding the chocolate, check the temperature of the cookie dough to make sure it isn't too warm or the chocolate will melt.
- Cut the soft caramels into small pieces. Add 1/3 of the caramels to the cookie dough, reserving 2/3 of the caramels for when you remove the caramel skillet cookie from the oven.
- Spread into 12-inch skillet. Bake until the edges start to become a light golden color, about 28-33 minutes. The center may be still slightly jiggly but it will continue to bake once you remove the skillet cookie from the oven.
- As soon as you remove it from the oven, place the remaining caramels all around the skillet cookie. Since the caramel pizzokie is still warm, the caramels will slightly melt into the cookie.
- Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream.
