Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies Food

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg, then the egg yolk. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft, yet thick. Fold in the chocolate chips. They may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter, but do your best to combine them. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours or up to 3-4 days. Chilling is mandatory. I highly recommend chilling the cookie dough overnight for less spreading.
• Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow to slightly soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Set aside.
• Roll the dough into balls, 1.5 Tablespoons each. You'll have about 30 balls, give or take. The dough will be crumbly, but the warmth of your hands will allow the balls to stay intact. Make a thumbprint into one dough ball and press the Rolo inside. Cover the Rolo with another dough ball and mold the two dough balls around the Rolo, making sure it is completely wrapped inside. See photo above for a visual. Gently press down on the large cookie dough ball to *slightly* flatten and press a few more chocolate chips on top. Sprinkle with sea salt. Put 7-8 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet. Put one cookie sheet into the refrigerator as you bake batch #1. Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes. The cookies will look very soft and underbaked. They will continue to bake on the cookie sheet.
• Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. If the cookies still look too puffy when you remove them from the oven, gently press down on them a little more.

THE BEST SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars with a stand or hand mixer until combined and fluffy (about 2 minutes) then add in vanilla extract and eggs, beat until combined, scrape down sides of the bowl with a spatula and pour in caramel and beat until incorporated, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
• Slowly add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and beat slowly until combined.
• Now with a wooden spoon stir in the chocolate chips. Place dough in the refrigerator for an hour.
• Preheat oven to 350, line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
• Scoop dough with a 1 tablespoon size cookie scoop and scoop onto prepared cooking sheets. Place about 2 inches apart (I get 12 per baking sheet). Flatten the dough balls slightly.
• Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes, until edges are slightly golden brown (centers will be soft). Remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a cookie cooling rack and allow to cool before serving. Repeat until all the dough has been turned into delicious cookies!

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour until well blended. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into balls; roll in pecans, pressing into dough. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Using handle of wooden spoon, make indentation in center of each cookie. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in microwavable bowl, microwave caramels and half-and-half uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring once, until caramels are melted. Spoon about 1 teaspoon caramel into indentation of each cookie. Cool 15 minutes.
• Drizzle with melted chocolate; sprinkle with salt. Let stand about 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.

SALTED CARAMEL DARK CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• This cookie dough requires at least 3 hours of chilling, but I prefer to chill the dough overnight. The colder the dough, the thicker the cookies.
• In a large bowl using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium high speed until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and then beat on high speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour into the wet ingredients. Beat on low until combined. The cookie dough will be quite thick. Switch to high speed and beat in the milk, then the chocolate chips. The cookie dough will be sticky and tacky. Cover dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Chilling is mandatory for this sticky cookie dough.
• Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. If the cookie dough chilled longer than 3 hours, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. This makes the chilled cookie dough easier to scoop and roll.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Set aside.
• Scoop 2 Tablespoons of dough and divide in half. Roll each half into a ball. Make a thumb indent into 1 ball and place a caramel candy in the center. Top with other ball of dough and seal down the sides, closing the candy tight inside. Repeat with remaining dough and caramel candies. Arrange 2-3 inches apart on the baking sheets and lightly sprinkle sea salt on top of each. Tip: The cookie dough is certainly sticky, so wipe your hands clean after every few balls of dough you shape.
• Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes or until the edges appear set and the centers still look soft. Tip: If they aren't really spreading by minute 9, remove them from the oven and lightly bang the baking sheet on the counter 2-3x. This helps initiate that spread. Return to the oven to continue baking.
• Cool cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. During this time, I like to press a few more chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies. (This is optional and only for looks.) Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. The cookies will slightly deflate as they cool.
• Cover leftover cookies tightly and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, about 8 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

• Evenly space the dough rounds onto the parchment lined sheet tray leaving at least 2" of space in between. Top each with 4 small pieces of caramel Bake for about 14 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle generously with sea salt. Let cool on sheet pan for about 3 minutes before serving warm.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SALTED CARAMEL SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Make the chocolate chip shortbread layer: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the bottom of an 8" square pan with parchment paper. With a hand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, salt and vanilla until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and flour and beat to just combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. Press the dough into the pan in a a flat layer. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown on the edges.
• While the shortbread bakes, make the caramel: combine sweetened condensed milk, butter and syrup into a pot. Cook on medium, stirring frequently so as not to scorch the milk. Adjust heat as necessary. Once the temperature reaches 220-225 F is thick and the color of butterscotch, turn off the heat and add the sea salt and vanilla. Stir to combine.
• If the shortbread still hasn't finished baking, keep the caramel over very low heat, to just keep it warm. Once the shortbread is done, remove from the oven and pour the caramel over it. Smooth into one even layer. Set aside to cool completely.
• From each bowl of chocolate, set aside 1/4 of the amount to be your 'seed'. Melt the chocolate(s) in the microwave in 30 second increments, Stirring between, until the chocolate is mostly melted but not fully. Add the seed you've set aside and stir until chocolate is smooth. Pour the dark chocolate over the now cool caramel and smooth into one layer. If you are using white and milk, alternate spooning them over the dark chocolate. Use a butter knife to swirl them. Top with edible glitter if desired.
