SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 sticks butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup caramel bits or caramel candies, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine salt together in a bowl.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and caramel bits.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between the cookies (you will have cookie dough left over). Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Bake the cookies until golden brown, rotating the position of the baking sheets halfway through, 13 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Meanwhile, cool the baking sheets and repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of your cookies. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you create uniform cookies that will bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown and the centers are still slightly soft.

Conclusion:

These chocolaty caramel cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey caramel centers, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give these chocolaty caramel cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
