Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick + 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 20 soft caramel candies, such as Kraft, unwrapped
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture, mixing until completely combined. Do not over-mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Roll 2 Tablespoons cookie dough into a ball. Tuck 1 caramel candy into the center of each dough ball. Reform into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are slightly golden brown. (The cookies will not look fully baked, but they will resume baking while cooling on baking sheet.)
  • Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheet for 10 minutes. Dot with additional chocolate chips for a finished look. Sprinkle with sea salt. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy!
