Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Filling and Topping

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. This step is crucial for a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition to incorporate fully, ensuring a smooth and homogeneous batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and salt throughout the flour.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender and soft.
  6. Shape Cookies and Create Indents: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently press an indent into the center of each cookie for the caramel filling.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft. Baking time may vary slightly based on your oven and cookie size.
  8. Cool and Fill: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before spooning or piping the caramel sauce into the indents. This prevents the caramel from running off.
  9. Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  10. Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies with caramel. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or chill briefly before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • To make homemade caramel sauce, gently simmer sugar and cream with butter until thickened.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped chocolate bars for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
