Description
Soft and chewy cookies filled with semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped chocolate caramel candies, baked until the edges are lightly golden and the centers stay tender with gooey caramel pockets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped Rolo candies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped Rolo candies.
- Scoop the dough into rounded portions, about 2 tablespoons each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet with space between each one.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 20 to 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm for thicker cookies.
- Do not overbake, because the centers will continue to set as the cookies cool.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a bakery-style look.
- A tiny pinch of flaky salt on top after baking adds a lovely sweet and salty contrast.
