Recipe | Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi guys, the unstoppable urge to bake cookies strikes again! This time I went for Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip. I saw this recipe in a book all about cookies I picked up from TK Maxx called Chocolate Chip Cookies : Dozens of Recipes for Reinterpreted Flavours and I had to give it a go! These are gorgeously soft chewy cookies, my absolute fave! 

Makes 20 Cookies

Ingredients - 

280g plain flour

1/2 baking powder

1/2 salt

115g unsalted butter

290g light brown sugar

1 egg

60ml milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

115g chocolate chips

Small jar of salted caramel (or you could make your own)

Method - 

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/Gas Mark 4. Line 2 baking sheets with greaseproof paper.

2. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. 

3. In a separate bowl cream together butter and sugar, add in the egg and mix. Add the milk and vanilla, mix until completely combined.

4. Add the chocolate chips to the mix and stir until evenly distributed. 

5. Taking about a tablespoon of the mix, scoop out onto the baking tray, space them about 5cm apart as they will spread. 

6. Make a hollow into each ball of dough with your thumb, fill with 1/2 a teaspoon of salted caramel per each ball. 

7. Close the dough around the caramel or add more on top to avoid caramel leaking out of the cookies. 

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the tray after half the time. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
