Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Adds richness and moisture; swap with margarine for a non-dairy option.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetens and adds texture; can be replaced with coconut sugar for deeper flavor.
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar Contributes moisture and a slight caramel taste; use dark brown sugar for more sweetness.
  • 2 large eggs Binds ingredients and helps with leavening; substitute with flax eggs for a vegan version.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Forms the structure; a gluten-free flour blend can be used for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Acts as a leavening agent for a light texture; ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances the sweetness; omit if using salted butter.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Adds richness on top; choose dark or white chocolate based on your preference.
  • 1 cup caramel sauce Creates the signature chewy layer; opt for store-bought or homemade, whichever you prefer.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup of brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  4. Drop generous amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Create an indent in the center of each dough mound for the caramel.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  6. Spoon your favorite caramel sauce into the indents of the cookies while still warm.
  7. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle over each cookie and allow to set for about 30 minutes.

Notes

For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. Store in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
