Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup caramel candies, chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
  6. Fold the melted caramel into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
  7. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for an additional touch of decadence.
  12. Enjoy these Death by Caramel Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of hot coffee for the ultimate indulgence.
