Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter (Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 3/4 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Kraft Caramel Pieces (about 20 caramels) (an 11 oz. bag will be more than enough)
- 3/4 tsp. Coarse Sea Salt
Instructions
- Unwrap caramels, and cut each caramel into 8 tiny pieces (This will make them similar to the size of chocolate chips.)
- Set 1/2 cup of caramel pieces aside and 1/4 cup of chocolate chips aside for later.
- Combine Cake Mix, Melted Butter (or oil), and Eggs in large mixing bowl, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
- Add 1/2 cup of caramel pieces and 1/2 cup chocolate chips into batter, and stir until well combined.
- Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. (This is essential, if you don’t the caramels will want to become one with your pans) 🙂
- Now it's time to grab the chocolate chips and caramel pieces you had set aside. Roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized rounded balls and transfer to cookie sheet. Place a few chocolate chips and caramel pieces on top of each dough ball, to get that pretty finished look.
- Bake on center oven rack for 7 – 13 minutes, or until done. (Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets.)
- Remove cookies from oven, and immediately sprinkle with a little coarse sea salt on top.
- Allow cookies cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then promptly transfer to cooling racks to let them finish cooling there. ENJOY!
