The Most Amazing Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies! Super soft, chewy and loaded with melted chocolate and caramel.

Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

What better way to start off the weekend than with some cookies. Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies to be exact!

These are probably one of the best cookies I’ve ever made. Now that’s saying ALOT given the fact I’ve made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, Peanut Butter Cookies and my Double Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I slightly under baked the cookies to get the soft, chewy center. Melt in your mouth on the inside and firm on the edges. Just how I like my cookies.

Soft and Chewy Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are a couple reasons why these cookies are so awesome:

  1. I used cornstarch for a softer cookie and added thickness.
  2. I substituted part of the sugar for brown sugar. Brown sugar is also used in the cookies to make them extra soft and chewy.
  3. I chilled the dough for an hour for a full flavored, thicker cookie.

Chewy Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

To make these Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies start by creaming butter and both sugars with a paddle attachment. Add in a whole egg and vanilla extract. Fold in dry ingredients and chocolate chips. Chill the dough for at least an hour. This ensures a thicker cookies and actually allows the flavors to develop. Trust me it’s totally worth the effort!

Portion out the cookies and place them on a silicon baking mat. This recipe makes about 12-18 cookies depending on the size. Place a caramel candy in the middle of the dough and make sure the caramel is completely covered.

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days (if they last that long).
