Instructions
- These Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookie Bar combine gooey chocolate chip cookie goodness with a layer of rich salted caramel. Here's how to make them:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 2-quart baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together 2 1/8 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix 12 tablespoons of melted butter with 1 cup of light brown sugar and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until combined. Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined. Stir in 2 cups of chocolate chips.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 10 ounces of unwrapped caramel candy squares with 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
- Divide the cookie dough in half and press half of it into the prepared baking pan. Pour the melted caramel over the cookie dough and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the caramel layer and spread it out with a spatula.
- Sprinkle additional sea salt over the top and bake for 30 minutes, or until the bars are light golden brown and the edges start to pull away from the pan.
- Let the bars cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
Enjoy these deliciously sweet and salty cookie bars.
