SALTED CARAMEL WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Salted Caramel White Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I'm addicted to the sweet and salty combination of flavors these days. I based this recipe off of my Junk in the Trunk cookies with a few ingredient changes and a little tweaking here and there. I made, and remade and remade this dough as well as tried various methods of baking. This is very much a Tried and True recipe. They...

Provided by Lynn Socko

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 1/2 stick butter, unsalted
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
11 oz caramel bits, or caramel chips**
8 oz white chocolate chips
1 c pecans, chopped
coarse sea salt
**parchment paper muffin tin liners or silpats
**cupcake muffin tins

Steps:

  • 1. 12.2019 NOTE: I found some Caramel Chips this year and used them and they do not stick like the bits do, so if you use those instead no need so the paper cups, I just used my silpats and they can right up like any other cookie.
  • 2. NOTE: It is advisable to have several cupcake tins to work with, these must cool about 10-15 min before removing from tin. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Cut out the bottom of the muffin paper liners leaving a slight edge up the side. Place them in your cupcake tin. I highly suggest you use ONLY white parchment paper line liners, Wilton makes them and I have found other brands. For some reason the colored cupcake papers will stick to the cookies. Another alternative that I did not have when I first started making these is to use Silpats, you can eliminate the muffin tins and liners and bake on a cookie sheet with silpat instead.
  • 3. Mix together butter, sugars, baking soda and salt till well combined. Add vanilla and egg and mix for 1 min. on med speed. Add flour a little at a time and mix on low, scraping sides of bowl as you go. If dough seems a little too dry just add a few drops of water to dough and mix.
  • 4. Once well combined I found that if I change from my ladle to my my dough hook it works better. Add both chips and pecans in by sprinkling them all around your mixing bowl. Turn mixer on lowest speed and mix together for about 30 sec. Scrap sides and repeat.
  • 5. Scoop dough out with a Tablespoon scoop and place on liners in cupcake tin or on silpat lined cookie sheet.
  • 6. Bake 375° for 9-10 minutes. (Baking time may vary from oven to oven). Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on top and VERY GENTLY place your fingers on top of the salt to make sure it adheres to the cookie, otherwise the salt tends to fall off when removing the cookie from the liner. IMPORTANT: Leave cookies in cupcake tin for at least 10 min, cookie should be cool when removing from tin. Leave cookie in liner for another 10-15 min then gently remove liner.

Time 1h32m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
48 chocolate-covered caramel candies (I use Rollos)

Steps:

  • Beat butter until creamy.
  • Gradually beat in white sugar and brown sugar.
  • Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa.
  • Gradually add to butter mixture, beating well.
  • Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
  • Divide dough into 48 pieces.
  • Start by dividing dough into four equal pieces; then divide each piece into thirds; then each of those pieces in half to make 24; and each of those in half again to make 48 pieces.
  • Flatten each piece slightly and return to refrigerator.
  • Working with a few at a time, and leaving the remainder in the frige, press a piece of dough around a rollo, being careful to cover it completely.
  • (I find the rollos easier to handle when they're pre-chilled) Roll into a ball.
  • Place 2-inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 8 minutes in preheated 375°.
  • Let cool for 3-4 minutes before removing from baking sheet or caramel will run out the bottom of cookie.
