Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups caramel corn, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Combine Caramel Corn and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chopped caramel corn and chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra crunch, reserve some caramel corn and press it onto the tops of the cookies before baking.
- You can also use dark chocolate chips or chunks for a richer flavor.
