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 ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these cookies:

–softened butter- I use salted butter, but use what you like

–butter flavored shortening- can be found on the baking aisle. I prefer the cubes that you can cut to specific measurements

–brown sugar

–granulated sugar

–eggs

–flour

–baking soda

–baking powder

–salt

–semi-sweet chocolate chips

–salted caramel chips

–SOFT caramels- I find these often in the grocery store check out lane. Make sure they’re the SOFT caramels!

How to Make Caramel Stuffed Cookies

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!
