Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 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 chips
  • 1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Grease a cast-iron skillet or baking dish and press half of the cookie dough into the bottom.
  7. Place the unwrapped caramel candies evenly over the dough in the skillet, followed by the remaining cookie dough on top, covering the caramel completely.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center appears soft but set.
  2. Let the skillet cookie cool slightly before slicing it into wedges.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of hot fudge.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the unsalted butter with vegan butter. Consider adding cinnamon or instant coffee for extra flavor. Allow cooling for a few minutes before slicing, and keep an eye on baking time as ovens can vary.
