This easy Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies Recipe delivers soft, chewy cookies loaded with sweet chocolate and gooey caramel in every bite!
When it comes to the Fall, one of the first flavors my mind races to is Salted Caramel. That’s why I had to find an easy way to create a Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies Recipe! And thanks to a quick cake mix shortcut, these cozy Autumn cookies are about as easy as they come!
I don’t know about you, but I have a serious weakness for caramels in the Fall. Even unwrapping them brings me back to delicious memories of baking sweet treats in the kitchen as a little girl. There’s just something about ooey gooey ribbons of caramel wrapped up in a soft chocolate cookie that’s pretty hard to resist! Right? Trust me… you won’t be able to eat just one! 🙂
So what are you waiting for? Let’s get baking, shall we?
You’ll just need these 6 simple ingredients to get started on your Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies…
Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies Recipe
How Do You Make Salted Caramel Cookies From Scratch?
Well… these aren’t technically from scratch, because we’ll be using a cake mix as a shortcut, but here’s what you’ll need to make your chocolate sea salt caramel cookies:
- Chocolate Cake Mix
- Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Caramels
- Butter or Oil
- Eggs
- and Coarse Sea Salt
Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix {15.25 oz}
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Kraft Caramel Pieces {about 20 caramels} – one 11 oz. bag will be more than enough
- 1/2 cup Melted Butter, or Canola Oil, or Vegetable Oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 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.
- In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, oil, and eggs, and mix until well combined.
- Add 1/2 cup of caramel pieces and 3/4 cup chocolate chips into batter, and stir until well combined.
- Transfer dough to refrigerator, and chill for 1 hour.
- 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 dough into small balls, and place a few chocolate chips and caramel pieces on top of each dough ball, to get that pretty finished look.
- Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, or until cookies are done.
- Remove cookies from oven, and sprinkle with a little coarse sea salt on top.
- Allow cookies cool on cookie sheet for 1 – 2 minutes, then promptly transfer to cooling racks to let them finish cooling there.
