Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • Soft caramels or caramel sauce
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugars: Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Mix in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the dough and mix until combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
  5. Shape the cookies: Scoop dough, flatten slightly, and add a caramel piece in the center (or prepare to drizzle caramel after baking). Seal and roll into a ball.
  6. Bake: Place on a lined sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
  7. Let cool 5 minutes, then drizzle with caramel (if not stuffed).
  8. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Notes

For extra gooey centers, slightly underbake the cookies. Chill the dough 20–30 minutes for thicker cookies. Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
