Caramel Stuffed Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Cookies:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
• For the Caramel Filling:
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped (or homemade caramel)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Caramel Filling:
   • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Make the Cookie Dough:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing until well combined.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
   • Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
3. Assemble the Cookies:
   • Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Place about a teaspoon of the caramel filling in the center, then wrap the dough around the caramel and roll it into a ball.
   • Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
4. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Serve:
   • Enjoy your caramel stuffed cookies warm or store them in an airtight container for later!

Tips:

• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
• Feel free to substitute the caramel with chocolate or other fillings for a different twist!
