Have you guys seen this video yet? You might notice I sound nasal and that is because I got sick. 🙁 I have been VERY stressed the last few weeks and it finally caught up with me. Now I absolutely HATE getting sick because it’s a setback and I literally lie in bed and sleep all day because when I’m out, I’m out COLD.
So when filming this video, I had to rely on my assistant to taste test the cookies. Disclaimer: I’ve tried the cookies before, but it was a LONG time ago. Fortunately, it turned out great and my assistant LOVED it.
Salted Caramel is my weakness and after tasting these cookies, it will be your weakness too. Let me know in the comments how the cookies turn out for you guys!
Check out the sea salt! I just get really happy whenever I use some of my favorite ingredients in recipes! 🙂
Tips and Tricks for Making These Caramel Salted Chocolate Cookies Recipe:
- Sift, sift, sift! This applies to all dry ingredients to avoid lumps in your cookie dough.
- Keep the cookies in an airtight container after cooling them completely for longer shelf life.
- I like to scoop my cookie dough and freeze them for about 15 minutes before baking. This allows the butter to chill up that way when they bake, they don’t spread as much and you’re left with a thicker chewier cookie.
- You can use semi-sweet cocoa powder if you do not like the bitter taste of the dark, unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Use chocolate chunks if you do not have chocolate chips on hand.
