Description
These caramel stuffed chocolate chip cookies combine the comforting flavors of classic cookies with a delicious surprise of gooey caramel in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup vanilla pudding mix (or one 3.4 oz box instant pudding mix)
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6–12 caramel squares (one or two per cookie, as preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream together the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and the egg, mixing well.
- Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and pudding mix in another bowl. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop out 1/4 cup of dough, roll it into a ball, and make a well in the center. Place 1-2 caramel squares in the well. Cover with another 1/4 cup of dough and roll into a ball, ensuring the caramel is completely encased.
- Space cookies well apart (only 3 per sheet) as they will spread. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring.
Notes
Feel free to add nuts or substitute different kinds of chocolate for a unique twist.
