Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • 16 caramel squares or soft caramel bits
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Cream the room temperature butter with the brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
  2. Shape and Bake the Cookie Base: Divide the dough evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, flattening each portion slightly to form small cookie rounds. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
  3. Add the Caramel Layer: While the cookie bases are still warm, carefully press one caramel square or a few caramel bits onto each cookie. Allow the caramel to soften and meld into the cookie surface.
  4. Top with Melted Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to ensure smoothness. Spread or drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer to create the signature chocolaty finish.
  5. Cool and Set: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely so the chocolate hardens and the caramel firms up, creating the perfect balance of textures.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and fluffier dough.
  • Don’t overbake; slightly underbaked cookies have soft centers and crisp edges.
  • Use high-quality melting chocolate for a smooth, glossy topping.
  • Chill the dough if needed to prevent excessive spreading and keep cookies thick.
  • Soft caramel bits melt best and create gooey caramel layers.
