Here’s a unique twist on classic chocolate chip cookies – the addition of sea salt and caramel for an extra layer of flavor. Enjoy these delectable Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for topping)
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or a mix of dark and milk)
- 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel candies, chopped
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped caramel bits.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still be soft – that’s okay; they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies!
These cookies offer a perfect balance of sweetness from the caramel and chocolate, with a hint of salt to elevate the flavors. Enjoy baking and savoring these delightful treats!
