CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies start with our BEST EVER chocolate chip cookies, then stuffed with soft, sweet caramel & baked until golden brown. Everything you love about traditional chocolate chip cookies with soft, gooey caramel inside!

Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies need to be a staple in every home, not just ours. Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! What a fun treat to celebrate. We make chocolate chip cookies at least once a month and each batch doesn’t last long! I took one simple ingredient and made our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe even better. Caramel. Seriously! It’s a no-brainer- you’ve got to try them.

Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup salted caramel chips
• 2 4-oz bags SOFT caramels

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. {I use these parchment sheets– love them!}
2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and shortening. Add in sugars and eggs and mix once more.
3. Add in 1/2 the flour, the baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Add in remaining flour and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and salted caramel chips. {If you can’t find these, just use 1 1/2 cups semi sweet chips instead. I find them at my local Kroger grocery store and they’re heavenly!}
4. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough (I use this cookie scoop here) and take 1 unwrapped caramel and stuff it in the center. Adjust the dough around the caramel so that it’s covered completely.
5. Place 9 balls of dough on a cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
6. Once baked, transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool a few minutes and ENJOY!
