    Best Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

    If you are a fan of all this chewy chocolate chips cookie recipes you will love this version of salted caramel chocolate chip cookies.

    They are just as good and chewy as my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe from my blog with the delicious taste of salty caramel candy.

    This recipe is really easy to make at home and if you have some salt caramel candies or other soft caramels at home you can make this great homemade cookie recipe perfect at any time of the day.

    Like all my best cookies recipes from the blog, like these peanut butter chocolate chips cookies recipe or this s’more cookies recipe, these salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are always very tasty with a very soft and chewy center and crisp edges.

    Best caramel to use to make this recipe

    You should use caramel candy, preferably the salted butter version which has a delicious taste similar to my salted caramel sauce recipe but with the perfect consistency for cookie dough.

    Cut caramel into several pieces and add them to the cookie dough, they will certainly melt during baking so try to keep an eye on them to avoid having cookies that are too caramelized.

    Also pay attention to the amount of caramel you add to the dough to avoid having only candy in your mouth and not enough cookie dough otherwise it will stick to your teeth.

    What ingredients you need for this Caramel Chocolate Chips Cookies

    • Butter: Use unsalted butter, either softened or melted and cooled.
    • Sugar: Use a combination of white granulated sugar and flavored sugar such as brown sugar.
    • Egg: at room temperature for a vegan version check out my vegan chocolate chip cookies recipe and add some soft caramels inside.
    • Vanilla: liquid vanilla extract to add a delicious flavor the cookies.
    • Flour: all-purpose flour.
    • Cornstarch: Optional cornstarch adds even more chewiness to the cookies.
    • Leavening agents: A mixture of baking soda and baking powder to make softer cookies.
    • Salt: Use preferably sea salt such as fleur de sel .
    • Chocolate chip: Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks.
    • Caramels: soft salted caramels candy or caramel candy cut into small pieces.
