Description

Rich and chewy cookie bars filled with gooey caramel and chocolate chips, topped with a sprinkle of sea salt.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • Sea salt for sprinkling


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, blending until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Spread half of the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Drizzle a generous layer of caramel sauce over the cookie dough.
  8. Spread the remaining cookie dough on top of the caramel layer.
  9. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top before baking.
  10. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Allow to cool completely in the pan, then cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container; they will last about a week. For longer storage, freeze individual squares. Microwave for 10-15 seconds to enjoy warm.
