Salted Caramel Chip Cookies

I was craving cookies over the rainy weekend and wanted to jazz up my standard chocolate chip cookie recipe. I found some Nestle caramel chips in the supermarket and thought a salted caramel cookie would be a winner!

These cookies are so easy to prepare and the dough can be pulled together in under 10 minutes. Sometimes I make a double batch and roll the remainder into a log, cover well with cling film and freeze for future cooking baking times.

I reduced the sugar in these cookies as the caramel chips are very sweet. You can add more salt (or even less) to taste, but I love the contrast of the sweet caramelised bits and the occasional crunch of salt. Delicious!

Please try very hard not to eat all the cookie dough, I often end up getting only 19 cookies from this batch into the oven due to the irresistible powers of raw cookie dough ;)

Leave these babies to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. If you have any left (it rarely happens in my household), they can keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

      Oh damn! I got mine from the Coles in Surry Hills, I think I have seen them in the big CBD supermarkets too. Good luck!

    Oh my goodness! these look perfect, do you have a secret for getting them so perfectly round? or is it just the old ice cream scoop trick?

    • Reply Swah June 4, 2013 at 2:52 pm

      Yep the old ice cream scoop trick! And then I gently rolled them into balls and flattened them slightly before baking :)

    Ooh these sound GOOD! Who knew caramel chips could be so delicious?!

      They were incredibly delicious! And once baked, the caramel chips get slightly caramelised and crunchy on the bottom, heaven!

      I’m pretty sure they will love these (and you if you make them!)

    I’d probably eat at least half the cookie dough… haha! how do you get yours so uniform! It’s like a little army!

      Cookie dough is so dangerous! I measured each cookie with an ice cream scoop, then rolled them into balls and gently flattened them so they are all even :)

    How am I supposed to measure out 140 g of butter? I’m looking everywhere on line and I can’t convert it to cups. If I don’t have a food scale I can’t make these?
