Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chewy caramel bites chopped up into the size of your chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg, then the egg yolk. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft, yet thick.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks and the caramel chips. They may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter, but do your best to combine them. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or up to 3-4 days. Chilling is mandatory. I highly recommend chilling the cookie dough overnight for less spreading.Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow to slightly soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Roll cookie dough into tall towers (not balls) with 2-3 tbsp of dough
- Bake for 12-13 minutes
- Enjoy!
