Ingredients
- 1 cup cold butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ¼ cups flour, gluten free 1 to 1 or all purpose
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt, optional
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 18 caramels, or chocolate caramels
Instructions
- First, line a baking pan with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, sugar and light brown sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Add in eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Use a spoon to scoop out balls of dough. Flatten each ball of dough. Place on parchment lined pan.
- Place a caramel in the middle of each flattened ball.
- Then, place a smaller flattened ball of dough on top of the caramel. Use hands to fully enclose the caramel in cookie dough. Repeat for all dough.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until the cookie edges are slightly golden.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use cold butter straight from the fridge. This ensures that the cookies will not spread too thin while baking.
- Beat butter and sugars until no clumps of butter remain.
- Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour can be used.
- Hershey kisses, Dove chocolates or caramels can all be used with success.
- Fully enclose the caramels with cookie dough.
- Do not over bake. These cookies are meant to be gooey!
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
