Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 14.5 tbsp salted butter, melted & cooled slightly
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled or weighed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 35 pieces Werther’s soft caramels chopped into bite-sized pieces

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the Werther’s Soft Caramels into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with both sugars. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and room-temperature eggs to the mix. Blend at medium speed until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped caramel until evenly distributed.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons onto the sheets, leaving space in between.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Look for golden-brown edges and slightly soft centers.
  2. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Serve warm with a glass of cold milk or vanilla ice cream. For storage, keep cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze wrapped well.
