Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Fold in 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of creamy peanut butter with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk. Place 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter filling in the center, then top with another tablespoon of cookie dough. Seal the edges and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of heavy cream over low heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of caramel sauce until smooth.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cooled cookies and allow it to set before serving. Enjoy!
