Description
Delicious salted caramel chocolate cookie sandwich bars that combine rich chocolate and sweet caramel in a delightful treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread half of the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cookie dough, then spread the remaining cookie dough on top, covering the caramel.
- Sprinkle the sea salt over the top layer of cookie dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- Add chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the cookie dough for added texture and flavor.
