The rich, buttery cookie dough is studded with chunks of chocolate and swirled with homemade salted caramel for an indulgent treat that is sure to impress. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a special treat for yourself!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup homemade salted caramel sauce (or store-bought)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Using a spoon or your thumb, create an indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each indentation with a small dollop of salted caramel sauce.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy these delicious salted caramel chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience!
