Full Recipe:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup caramel sauce
1 cup milk chocolate chips
¼ cup mini Twix pieces (optional, for added crunch)
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the butter sugar mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well combined, forming a soft dough.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Create Indentations: Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, gently press down on each dough ball to create a slight indentation in the center.
Add Caramel: Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce into each indentation. Be careful not to overfill.
Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Melt Chocolate: Once the cookies have cooled, melt the milk chocolate chips using a microwave or a double boiler.
Top with Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies, covering the caramel layer.
Optional Garnish: If desired, sprinkle mini Twix pieces on top of the chocolate for added texture and flavor.
Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
