Ingredients

Instructions 

  • First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the cookie dough. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cold butter cubes and sugar. Beat for 2 minutes or until completely creamed together.
  • Then, add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
  • Add in the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips. Unwrap the caramels.
  • Use a spoon to scoop 1 inch balls of dough onto the lined baking pan. Flatten each ball.
  • Place a caramel on top of this flattened ball of dough.
  • Then, cover it with more chocolate cookie dough. Use your fingers to fully enclose the caramel with cookie dough.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the middle of the cookies is just barely set.
  • Finally, remove the Milky Way cookies from the oven. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Then, sprinkle with sea salt on top!

Notes

  • Use cold butter right from the fridge. Cut into small pieces.
  • The cookie dough will be thick.
  • Be sure to fully enclose the caramels with cookie dough.
  • Bake until the edges are set, but the middle will still look soft and gooey.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
  • Do not store in the fridge; the caramel inside will turn hard.
  • Place in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
