Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Servings 36
These Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are a bit of a mouthful, but a super delicious one! Soft peanut butter pudding cookies stuffed with soft caramels and loaded with chocolate chips! The first batch is ready in less than 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 (3.4 oz.) box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix dry
- 2 large eggs
- 1 additional egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 36 chewy caramels
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until smooth.
- Add the dry pudding mix, eggs, additional egg yolk, and vanilla and beat for about one minute on medium speed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Scoop out 1½ - 2 tablespoon-sized scoops and stuff a caramel into the center of each, working the dough around it to seal. If using long thin caramels, cut in half before inserting into the dough.
- Place cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet about two inches apart. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- I used both Werther's and Lancaster Caramels. Both worked fine but I liked the Lancaster more.
