The image shows thick, round cookies with a pale golden base layer that looks soft and crumbly. Each cookie is topped with a smooth, glossy layer of dark chocolate that has delicate drizzles on top, adding texture and shine. One cookie is broken in half, revealing a thick, gooey caramel layer inside with a slightly chewy texture. Scattered on the chocolate surface are small flakes of coarse salt, giving a contrast with bright white sparkle. The cookies are stacked closely on a white plate, all placed on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet recommended)
Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Sweetened condensed milk (for homemade caramel, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the egg to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 4: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Step 5: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookie edges turn golden brown. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Once cooled, spread or drizzle a layer of caramel sauce over each cookie.
Step 8: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Step 9: Pour or drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, covering well.
Step 10: Allow cookies to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set faster.

Tips & Variations

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to achieve thicker cookies.
Let caramel cool slightly before applying for a chewier texture.
Experiment with dark or white chocolate, or sprinkle sea salt on top for extra flavor.
This recipe doubles easily if you want to make a larger batch.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze up to 3 months with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Thaw cookies at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend that measures cup-for-cup for best results.

What can I use if I don’t have caramel sauce?

You can make homemade caramel by simmering sugar, butter, and cream until thickened, or use sweetened condensed milk to create a creamy caramel layer.
