I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but these cookies were still really good. The caramel flavor is very strong and the cookies are very chewy.

These cookies are delicious, but they're a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try making them with less butter next time.
