Ingredients

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

Instructions

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

Tips & Variations

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to achieve thicker cookies.
  • Allow the caramel to cool slightly before spreading to get a chewier texture.
  • Try different kinds of chocolate such as dark or white chocolate, or sprinkle sea salt on top for added flavor.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled if you want more to share or save.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave for a freshly baked taste.

How to Serve

The chocolate layer is finished with a sprinkling of coarse sea salt crystals that add texture and sparkle. The white marbled surface beneath the plate creates a clean and bright setting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

  • 1 large egg

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark/white chocolate as preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking of the cookies.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  3. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup softened unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in one large egg and mix well to combine.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix to maintain a tender cookie.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room for spreading.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the Caramel Layer: Once cookies are fully cooled, spread or drizzle a generous layer of caramel sauce over each cookie. Use store-bought caramel or homemade by simmering sweetened condensed milk with butter and sugar if desired.
  8. Add Chocolate Topping: Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Pour or drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer, making sure it fully covers the caramel.
