Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar Packed
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Soft caramels or caramel bits For stuffing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth and unified.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until creamy and lighter in texture.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until glossy.
  5. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Scoop a portion of dough, flatten it, and place a soft caramel in the center.
  2. Wrap the dough around the caramel, sealing it completely, and roll into a ball.
  3. Bake until edges are set and lightly browned, but centers are still puffy.
  4. Let cool on the tray for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure you seal the caramel well to prevent leaks. Rest cookies on the baking sheet to help the caramel settle.
