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 & 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 mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture. Then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring just until everything is combined to avoid overmixing that can toughen the cookies.
  5. Shape Cookies and Add Indent: Using a scoop, place dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart. Press an indent into the center of each cookie dough ball—this will hold the caramel filling after baking.
  6. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden around the edges but still soft in the center for that chewy texture.
  7. Add Caramel Filling: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Spoon or pipe caramel sauce into the indents created in each cookie, filling them generously.
  8. Melt and Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips until smooth (using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler). Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-filled cookies to finish, then allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Homemade caramel sauce can be used for a more personalized flavor.
  • Milk chocolate chips will give a sweeter taste, while semi-sweet chocolate adds a balanced richness.
