Caramel chocolate chip cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies! Perfectly chewy cookies full of gooey caramel pieces and chocolate chips.

Best of all, these cookies are easy to make and the dough requires no chilling!

Why You'll Love Them

Perfect cookie texture. I love a chewy cookie and these cookies have the perfect chewy texture with slightly crispy edges.

No chilling required. These cookies come together easily and quickly with this no chill cookie dough.

Amazing taste. The combination of chocolate and caramel go together perfectly.

How to Make The Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cut your caramel squares into small pieces. I find using kitchen scissors is the easiest method. Place 10 cut caramels in one bowl, and five cut caramels in another (these will be for topping the cookies. Set both bowls aside.

In a large bowl or stand mixer cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. You want to do this for a good 3 minutes. Add in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Beat until mixture is well combined.

In a second bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined.

Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and caramel pieces.

Scoop 3 tbsp sized balls of cookie dough and place on the lined baking sheet 2 inches apart. Top the cookies with the extra caramel pieces and extra chocolate chips.

Bake for 11-12 minutes or until cookies are golden brown on the edges. These cookies spread, to get the perfect round cookie shape as soon as the cookie come out of the oven take a round cookie cutter, (slightly large than the cookies) place it around the cookie and gently swirl it around.

Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet after baking. Enjoy!

Storing the Cookies

These cookies should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies keep well up to four days.

WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?

Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then level off the access by scraping with a knife. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour causes the flour to compress and you will get more flour than the recipe calls for.

How to Get Round Cookies

As soon as the baked cookies are pulled from the oven place a round cookie cutter (a little bit large than the cookies) around the cookies and gently swirl it around. This will give your cookie a round shape. If you don’t have a cookie cutter you can use a glass or a jar lid.

Can I Make the Cookies Smaller?

Yes, you can the cookies smaller. Instead scoop 1.5 tbsp worth of dough and bake for 8-9 minutes.
