- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with sugars. Add vanilla and eggs, whisking until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients until a dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips last.
- Rest the Dough: Let the dough rest for 20 minutes in the fridge or freezer.
- Prep Cookie Dough Balls: Form dough into 90g balls. Flatten each, place a whole caramel in the center, and fold dough around it. Press sliced caramels and extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 365°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment. Space dough balls 5-6 per sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft. Let cool on the pan before serving.
