Servings: 2 .5 dozen
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup salted caramel chips
- 2 4- oz bags SOFT caramels
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. {I use these parchment sheets– love them!}
Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and shortening. Add in sugars and eggs and mix once more. Add in 1/2 the flour, the baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Add in remaining flour and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and salted caramel chips. {If you can't find these, just use 1 1/2 cups semi sweet chips instead. I find them at my local Kroger grocery store and they're heavenly!}
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough (I use this cookie scoop here) and take 1 unwrapped caramel and stuff it in the center. Adjust the dough around the caramel so that it's covered completely.
Place 9 balls of dough on a cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
Once baked, transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool a few minutes and ENJOY!
