Ingredients

  • 1 stick (113g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 cups (280g) plain/all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (175g) milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (92g) soft caramel sweets, such as Werther's or Kraft, slice into small chunks. With Werther's I sliced each piece into 4

Instructions

  • No need to heat the oven yet, this dough needs to chill. Place the butter and sugar into a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, around 2 minutes.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides as necessary, and mix until well combined on medium speed, around 2 minutes.
  • Place the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, milk chocolate chips and caramel pieces into a medium sized bowl and stir until all the chocolate chips and caramel pieces are coated in flour.
  • Tip the flour mix into your butter/sugar mixture and mix on low-medium speed until a soft dough forms. It should come away from the sides of the bowl and not be too sticky.
  • Cover the bowl loosely with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours, overnight if possible.
  • Once chilled, preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line two baking trays with grease proof paper/a silicone sheet.
  • Using a 1.5tbsp cookie scoop, place balls of dough 2 inches apart. Place in the oven for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden and the middle of each cookie still looks a little soft. The top of the cookies will look matte with a very slight sheen in the oven light.
  • Leave to cool for at least 15 minutes before digging in, if you like warm cookies, that caramel will be molten!
  • Once cool, store Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 5 days.
