Ingredients
Scale
- 14.5 tbsp salted butter, melted & cooled slightly (206 grams)
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed (163 grams)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (156 grams)
- 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled or weighed (390 grams)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 35 pieces Werther’s soft caramels (15 kept whole for stuffing)
Instructions
- Unwrap the caramels, keeping 15 whole for stuffing. Slice the remaining caramels into 2-3 pieces each.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the vanilla and eggs, whisking for about 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until a cohesive dough forms.
- Stir in the chocolate chips for that irresistible chocolatey goodness!
- Allow the dough to rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Measure out 90-gram balls of dough. Flatten each ball slightly and place a whole caramel in the center, wrapping the dough around it.
- Press the sliced caramels and extra chocolate chips firmly on top for a beautiful presentation.
- Preheat the oven to 365° F (185° C) and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Place 5-6 dough balls on each sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
- Immediately after baking, use a round cutter to shape the cookies while they’re still warm.
- Let them cool slightly before diving in!
Notes
Store any extras in an airtight container for 4-5 days. You can also freeze dough balls for 2-3 months.
