Chewy Caramel Cookies

April 13, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Howdy,

A few weeks ago I made some random cookies and shared them at work.  They were a hit!  The whole batch was gone by 10am.  I was asked for the recipe from some of my co-workers.  Uh, I don’t remember?  I tend to play around with recipes and I don’t always share them with you, but because these were so popular, I tried my best to remember the recipe.  Well hold and behold I did it again.  I thought since these cookies are so good, that I better write the recipe down and share them with you.  Today I have for you my Chewy Caramel Cookies.  Oh, and check out the Cookie Monster video at the end of the post.

Chewy Caramel Cookies

These cookies are soft, chewy, sweet and the caramel bits in the cookie add such a nice chewy texture.  I tried the recipe with a little bit of salt on top to make them Salted Caramel Cookies, but I didn’t care for that, so on this batch I left the salt off the top.  If you like salt, add a pinch on top and see if you like it.

Chewy Caramel Cookies


For the caramel in the cookies, I used Kraft Caramel Bits.  So much easier to use them then un-wrapping caramel pieces and chopping them up.  I found the Kraft Caramel Bits at Target.  Target seems to be my one stop shop when it comes to a lot of my ingredients for recipes.  I just love that store.  I can spend hours in it, except when I am with my Husband.  He doesn’t have the patience to walk around with me.

Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Cookies
Cuisine: American
Serves: 72 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2½ cup all purpose flour

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

Chewy Caramel Cookies

The secret to making these cookies chewy is the brown sugar.  I added more brown sugar than granulated sugar, normally it is the other way around.  You can taste the brown sugar in it too, so good.

These cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.  Just leave out on the counter to defrost.  However, as you may know, I love to eat frozen cookies.  Yum!

Have a fabulous day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S. I love this commercial for Siri.  My Husband said that is me when I bake cookies.  Enjoy…

    Question.. How do you keep the carmels from hardening after baking?
    I used the ones that you unwrap and chopped them up. And after baking and then cooling, the caramel was hard and tough in the cookies.
    I didn’t use this recipe.. But I can’t find anywhere that suggests what to use to make the soft still.

      I use the caramel bits, but they are the same thing as the wrapped stuff. I think because they are smaller and evenly sized it makes them chewy.

    Hi the cookies were good but I halved the recipe because 72 cookies was more than I wanted. Unfortunately half the dough only made 18 cookies. I used 2 Tb.per cookie.You may want to change the amount of cookies for the full recipe.

      Thanks Lisa. I tend to make my cookies a little bit on the smaller side. I think my scoop is 2 teaspoon size. I’m glad they turned out for you. Happy Holidays!

        Your recipe says two Tablespoons. You should correct it to say two Teaspoons.

    I’ve made this recipe twice now and my husband adores these cookies. I added a little more caramel bits than called for (closer to 1 1/2 cups) the second time and they are so chewy and awesome – great recipe!

    this is an amazing recipe. I simply use score toffee bits found in the baking section where they sell choice chips. My hubby is begging me to make more!

    To make cookies chewy, put a piece of bread in the container. It works very well.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
