Ingredients

🍽️ Number of Servings: 24 • 🔥 Calories/Serving: 150

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
24 soft caramel candies

Steps

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 7

Take a tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a caramel candy in the center. Wrap the dough around the caramel, forming a ball.

Step 8

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make it your own!

Add a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking for a sweet and salty twist.
Mix in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added texture.
Substitute the caramel with a piece of your favorite chocolate bar for a different surprise.
