Description
Delightful cookies featuring a soft, buttery texture filled with chewy salted caramel and crunchy bits for an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating well after each addition.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and nuts, ensuring an even distribution.
- Create small dough balls and make an indentation in the center; fill with salted caramel sauce and cover with more dough.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and slightly flatten them. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
- Sprinkle with extra sea salt once cooled, if desired.
Notes
Remember to let your cookies rest on the baking sheet to hold their shape nicely.
