Caramel For Cookies Food

CARAMEL-STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in top and middle. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together flour, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add butter; beat on medium speed until combined but some pea-size butter chunks remain. Add chocolate chips and beat until combined, then beat in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Scoop dough into 4-ounce balls (each about 1/3 cup); make a deep, wide hollow in each center. Enclose 3 pieces of caramel in each; roll back into a ball. Place 6 balls on each sheet. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Bake, with one sheet on each rack, 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, swap sheet positions, and bake until centers are almost but not completely set (press gently on tops with your fingers to check), 7 to 10 minutes more. Remove from oven. Bang sheets on a counter a few times to create cracks in tops of cookies. Place sheets on a wire rack; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat brown sugar, butter, and white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Beat eggs, 1 at a time, into butter mixture until blended; beat in vanilla extract. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until dough is just combined; fold in chocolate chips.
• Divide dough into thirty six 2 tablespoon-size balls; arrange on a baking sheet. Press 3 caramel pieces into each dough ball.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

CARAMEL CORN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat the sugar and shortening in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add 1/3 cup chopped caramel corn and the egg and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. Stir in the almond extract, flour, baking powder, baking soda and the remaining 2/3 cup caramel corn. Stir in the oats and coconut.
• Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart; bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine salt together in a bowl.
• With an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and caramel bits.
• Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between the cookies (you will have cookie dough left over). Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
• Bake the cookies until golden brown, rotating the position of the baking sheets halfway through, 13 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Meanwhile, cool the baking sheets and repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

SALTED CARAMEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Position oven racks near the center and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the flour, baking soda and fine sea salt and mix until fully incorporated. Scrape the dough out of the bowl and divide it in half. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap, patting into a 1-inch-thick disk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon-size portions (you should have about 20). Using your hands, roll the dough into balls and place on the baking sheets, staggering dough and leaving about 2 1/2 inches between pieces.
• Wipe the bottom of a glass with a damp towel and use it to press the cookies flat (they should be about 1/3-inch thick).
• Bake the cookies, rotating the sheets halfway through baking, until the edges are golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Place the unwrapped caramels and cream in a microwave-safe bowl or liquid measuring cup. Microwave the mixture for 30 to 45 seconds and stir well. Continue to microwave in 15-second increments until the caramels are fully melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. (You could also do this on the stovetop in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.)
• Once the cookies have cooled completely, spoon a generous teaspoon of caramel into the center of each cookie. Spread the caramel evenly over the surface, leaving a 1/4-inch uncoated edge. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
• If the caramel becomes too thick as you work, reheat in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between, or over medium-low heat on the stovetop, until fluid.
• Let the cookies cool at room temperature until the caramel sets, about 15 minutes, before serving.

CARAMEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Add remaining ingredients and beat thoroughly.
• Scrape dough out of bowl and onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Roll dough into a log, about 2 1/2-inches wide; completely wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.
• Cut dough into 1/8-inch-thick slices and arrange on several large ungreased cookies sheets about 1- to 1 1/2-inches apart. Bake until lightly browned around edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for about 1 minute and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.

PERUVIAN CARAMEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter with confectioners' and granulated sugar until fluffy.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Wrap and chill 30 minutes.
• If chilled longer let it warm up until it can be rolled.
• Or, whack it with a rolling pin until it cooperates.
• Roll dough out to 1/4" thickness, cut in 2 1/2" circles and place on parchment lined cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes.
• Cool cookie sheets between batches.
• Cool cookies on wire rack.
• Carefully (they're fragile cookies) spread some caramel on one cookie and top with another cookie.
• Dust tops with confectioners' sugar and enjoy immediately having a crisp cookie-the way they were meant to be eaten.
• They will turn soft after setting.
• Alternatively the cookies can be filled with the rewarmed caramel as needed.
• Caramel: Pour both cans of condensed milk in the top of a double boiler over simmering water and simmer on very low heat 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Eventually the milk will thicken and brown.
• Cool well and it will thicken further.
• Refrigerate until needed.
• Makes enough for 4-5 dozen cookies.

CARAMEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream butter, then add egg and brown sugar.
• Stir in dry ingredients and blend until mixed.
• Blend in crushed Werther's Original Candy.
• Drop teaspoonfuls of mixture 2 inches apart onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake at 350°F until done, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove parchment paper with cookies and cool for 15 minutes.

SALTED CARAMEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 390 degrees (unless you are chilling your dough). In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for at least 4 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
• Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer. Stir in caramel.
• Fold in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If sprinkling sea salt flakes on the top of cookies, reduce salt to 1/2 teaspoon. If you have time, I suggest chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes. This reduces the spreading of the cookies. I suggest a 24-hour chill time, if you can wait.
• If possible, use a light-colored baking sheet. Roll cookies into light balls and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-11 minutes or until lightly golden on the sides. Remove from the oven and let set up for several minutes.
• Drizzle caramel all over each cookie before serving. If so desired, sprinkle with sea salt flakes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and then set aside.
• Add butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat over medium speed until nice and creamy, about 1 minute.
• In a medium sized bowl, sift together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to butter/sugar mixture, beating over low speed. Scrape the bowl then beat over medium speed for another 30 seconds until well-combined.
• Add chocolate chips and caramel chips to the dough and then stir to combine. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, about 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes (mine are ready at 10 minutes), then remove from oven and allow cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
