Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
These saltes caramel chocolate chip cookies can be made either large or small. They are a great twist on a classic chocolate chip cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs, large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp caramel sauce, homemade, or store bought
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 10 oz chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare 2 sheet trays with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the 1 cup butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar on low-medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add the eggs one at a time, combining into the mix before adding the next. Add the 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp caramel sauce and continue to mix. You may have to scrape down the sides of the bowl to mix everything together.
- Add the 2.5 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt and continue to mix until dough forms. Stop the mixer and add the bag of chocolate chunks. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula, so you don’t break up the chunks too much.
- Using a cookie scoop, (or about 2 tbsp dough) scoop the dough into even shaped balls and line then up on the sheet trays with about 1” of space in between.
- Freeze the cookies for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the cookies for 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the chocolate is melty.
Notes
- You can use either a mini scoop or a regular sized scoop to shape the cookie dough. If you use a mini scoop, check the cookie after 12 minutes.
- If you like a flatter cookie, you can use the pan banging method to create those rippled looking cookies. Simply bake the cookies for 8 minutes, then open the oven, take the cookie tray and slam it against the rack of the oven a few times. Then continue to bake for another 6-7 minutes.
- You can arrange a few extra pieces of chocolate on top of your dough balls before baking to create a more chocolatey top.
