Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Abbi and Emalee and I made these yesterday.  Stuffed cookies are the newest rage.  Since all 3 of us love caramel, this is what we came up with.  

Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 c. butter, room temperature
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
2 3/4 c flour
1 t. baking soda
½ t. salt
2 c. semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
20 Werther's Chewy Caramels, cut in half - (2 - 2.22 oz.  DollarTree bags) 
Flaky sea salt , for sprinkling (optional)

Preheat oven to 375°. Line cookie sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

Beat butter, brown sugar, and sugar on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down the bowl once or twice.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.

Add flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Add chocolate chips.

Portion into rounded tablespoons (a #40 cookie scoop, or 1 ½ tablespoon) and place on prepared sheet pan, about 8 cookies to a pan.

Press caramels into the center of each cookie round and  roll in a ball to completely cover the caramel. 

Sprinkle with course salt, if desired.  

Bake 9 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack too cool completely.  Enjoy!
