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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fold the melted caramel into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- 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.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for an additional touch of decadence.
- Enjoy these Death by Caramel Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of hot coffee for the ultimate indulgence.
