My perfectly chewy and delicious salted caramel chocolate chip cookies will become your favorite cookie recipe ever. A classic gets an update when stuffed with caramel (like this caramel pie) and topped with sea salt. If you love these, you will also love these Brown Butter Butterfinger Cookies, Sweet and Salty Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies!!
I make bomb cookies. Seriously I kill the cookie game and have been slaying it for years. They should write songs about my chocolate chip cookies, and if someone doesn’t soon, I will write one, record a song in the studio and pitch it to all the local radio studios. My cookie game is that good.
What makes my original chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe so masterful is the perfect texture. It doesn’t get any better, that is unless you decide to stuff it with caramel and sprinkle on some sea salt. I actually surprised myself with how insanely amazing these are.
I love caramel and bringing the worlds of my chocolate chip cookies and caramel together was the best idea I have had in a while. I am elated it turned out so wonderfully. The cookies are much bigger than the standard cookie but the result is more deliciousness right? No complaints here!
I baked these a little longer than I usually do to get more golden color and a bit of crispiness on the edges but if you love them chewier just bake them for a shorter amount of time. Gosh I love these. Now I am pleased to share the perfection with you. May the forces (of love) be with you.

- Turn down your mixer to low and add in flour mixture in three intervals beating after each addition until well-combined. Lastly, stir in chocolate chips.

- and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet at least 1 1/2 inches apart.
