Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- ¾ cup Packed light brown sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 ½ cups White chocolate chips
- ½ cup Salted caramel sauce, chilled
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste until well combined.
- Step 3: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Step 4: Scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Using your thumb or a spoon, create a small indentation in the center of each dough ball. Spoon about ½ teaspoon of the chilled salted caramel sauce into each well, then carefully enclose the caramel by sealing the dough around it. Place the sealed dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Step 5: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are just set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. For an extra touch, sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt while still warm.
Notes
- Keep your cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to preserve their soft, chewy texture.
- For that fresh-baked, gooey caramel experience, warm a cookie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, or briefly in a low oven until the center is melty.
- These indulgent cookies are heavenly on their own, but for a next-level treat, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a hot cup of coffee.
- For perfectly gooey caramel centers that stay put, ensure your salted caramel sauce is very well chilled before filling, and take extra care to fully seal the dough around it!
