Decadent Caramel Chocolate Bar Cookies

These cookies feature a soft and chewy texture, with melted chocolate bar chunks and a sweet caramel swirl that creates a delightful contrast. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields approximately 24 cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate bar chunks (your choice of chocolate)
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate bar chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Scoop and Swirl: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle caramel sauce over each cookie and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it into the dough.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will continue to set as they cool.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired before serving.
