Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup melting chocolate for coating
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Prepare the Caramel Filling: In a small saucepan, melt the caramel bits and heavy cream together over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Form the Bites: Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of cookie dough and flatten them in your hand. Place a small spoonful of the caramel mixture in the center, then fold the dough over to enclose the caramel. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Coat in Chocolate: Melt the melting chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each cooled cookie bite into the chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place them on parchment paper to set.
