Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet recommended)
• Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Step 3: Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until fully combined.
4. Step 4: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
5. Step 5: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
6. Step 6: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Step 7: Once cooled, spread or drizzle caramel sauce over each cookie, using as much as you like for a rich layer.
8. Step 8: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour or drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, covering it well.
9. Step 9: Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. For faster setting, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Tips & Variations

• Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to achieve thicker cookies.
• Let the caramel cool slightly before applying for a chewier texture.
• Try different chocolates such as dark or white chocolate to vary the flavor.
• Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate for an extra flavor boost.
• Double the recipe if you want to bake a larger batch to share.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months with layers separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave for a few seconds for a fresh-baked taste.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cookie Dough

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg

Caramel Layer

• Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade), enough to generously cover each cookie
• Sweetened condensed milk (optional, for homemade caramel preparation)

Chocolate Topping

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking of your cookies.
2. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
3. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until well incorporated.
4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
5. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place dough portions spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for spreading.
6. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare the Caramel Layer: Once cooled, spread or drizzle a generous layer of caramel sauce onto each cookie. If making homemade caramel, prepare it in advance using sweetened condensed milk or traditional sugar, butter, and cream.
8. Add Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between intervals until smooth. Pour or drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, covering evenly.
9. Set the Cookies: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or for faster results, refrigerate the cookies for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

• For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
• To achieve chewier caramel, let the caramel cool slightly before spreading it onto the cookies.
