Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Caramel Topping
- 1 cup caramel candies
- Splash of cream
Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking during baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer for best results.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated into the mixture before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Melt Caramel: While the cookies cool on the baking sheet, melt the caramel candies with a splash of cream in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short bursts and stirring until smooth to ensure a creamy topping.
- Apply Caramel Layer: Once the cookies have completely cooled, drizzle or spread a generous layer of the melted caramel evenly over each cookie.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully smooth and melted.
- Apply Chocolate Layer and Set: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer on each cookie. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting. Once set, the cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure cookies are fully cooled before applying caramel and chocolate layers to prevent melting and mixing.
- You can use store-bought caramel candies or homemade caramel for the topping.
- For a smoother caramel, add cream gradually and stir well.
- Refrigerate cookies for about 15-20 minutes to speed up chocolate setting.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
