Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 9 Soft caramels, cut in half
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling on cookies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Set it aside as you begin making the dough.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully blended, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly spread throughout the dough. Take about 2 tablespoons of dough, roll it into a ball, and set it aside. Flatten the dough slightly with your palm and place a piece of caramel in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the caramel, making sure it is completely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining dough and arrange the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these warm, gooey, and perfectly balanced sweet-and-salty cookies!
