How to Make Salted Caramel White Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup caramel bits (or chopped soft caramels)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes (for topping)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the cookies from sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until it’s light and fluffy, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time. After each egg, add the vanilla extract and mix until it’s smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in the white chocolate chips and caramel bits until the dough is nicely mixed.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each ball.
  7. Bake your cookies for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on each cookie while it’s still warm.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Serve Salted Caramel White Chocolate Cookies

These cookies are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can enjoy them with a glass of milk, a cup of tea, or coffee. They also make a great dessert for parties or holiday gatherings!

How to Store Salted Caramel White Chocolate Cookies

To keep these cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay soft and delicious for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them to enjoy later — just make sure to place them in a freezer-safe container!

Tips to Make Salted Caramel White Chocolate Cookies

  • Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Make sure to use soft caramels, as they will melt beautifully in the cookies.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; give each cookie some room to spread.

Variation

You can add nuts like chopped pecans or walnuts for an extra crunch. You could also swap the white chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate chips if you like!
