Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Unsalted butter, softened
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar, packed
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- Soft caramel candies or soft caramel sauce
- Milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- Shortening or coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
- Press a small well into the center of each dough ball. Fill the well with a small amount of soft caramel.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, melt the milk chocolate chips with a small amount of shortening or coconut oil until smooth.
- Drizzle or dip the tops of the cooled cookies with the melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Notes
- For the best caramel texture, use soft, high-quality caramels or make a simple homemade soft caramel.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before scooping can help prevent excessive spreading.
- You can use a thin layer of melted chocolate as a dip instead of drizzling for a more authentic candy bar look.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
