    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.

    Step by Step Instructions

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

    Cut your caramel squares into tiny pieces. I find using kitchen scissors is the easiest method. Set aside.

    In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. You want to do this for a good 5 minutes.

    Add in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Beat until mixture is well combined.

    In a second bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

    wet and dry ingredients

    Add dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined.

    Fold in the chocolate chips and caramel pieces.

    add 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.

    cookies ready for the oven

    Bake cookies for 11 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. The cookies will look underdone.

    Let fully cool on the baking pan before moving and the residual heat will continue to cook the cookies and they will flatten out.

    These cookies do spread.

    To fix this, 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 and makes them a little thicker. If you don’t have a cookie cutter you can use a glass or a jar lid.

    Top warm cookies with extra chocolate chips.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Storing the Cookies

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

    HOW TO GET PERFECTLY 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

    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 scrape with a knife to level off the access. 

    Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour cause the flour to compress and getting more than the recipe calls for.

    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.

        Hi, I cut mine into eighths :). You want them to be tiny because the caramel spreads a lot.

      This recipe is so good! I had a package of wrapped caramels that I got in my Christmas stocking and this was the perfect way to use some up. I appreciate the thickness of the cookie...not too flat, not too thick or mounding. Jessie gives the cookie cutter tip to make the cookies round when they come out of the oven which is a game changer if you're not familiar with this!
      I used my 1.5 tbs scoop and got 31 cookies which was perfect. They are "perfectly chewy" as Jessie describes. I will definitely make again!
