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.

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...

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.

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 3.5-ounce caramel-filled dark chocolate candy bars
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Freeze the candy bars until hard, at least 1 hour; cut into 1/4-inch pieces and keep frozen until ready to use.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and fine salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually beat in the flour mixture until incorporated. Stir in the frozen chocolate pieces.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange scoops of dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Sprinkle the cookies with sea salt. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until light golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them set and keep their shape.
  • Serve the cookies warm with a glass of milk or your favorite ice cream.

Conclusion:

These salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're soft, chewy, and full of flavor. The combination of sweet caramel and salty chocolate is irresistible. Plus, they're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
