What’s the Project? These chocolate salted caramel cookies are soft and chewy chocolate cookies topped with a caramel buttercream frosting, drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with salt. You’re going to love them! 

It’s awesome to get to work with NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE on this project because I love them and use their chocolate chips every single week. Thank you to Nestle for sponsoring this post. 

I probably start too many of my dessert posts this way, but I think I have a new favorite dessert!

Seriously this time.

These chocolate salted caramel cookies are sitting downstairs as I write this and I. Can’t. Resist. Them! It’s a problem.

Someone come eat them and save me! Making these cookies was a new experiment. I figured they would turn out pretty good, but hello! They are amazing!

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 1 hr 33 mins
Total Time 25 mins
Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 C brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 3/4 C margarine 1 and a half sticks
  • 2 C Nestle's Semi Sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3 1/2 C flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sift dry ingredients together and set them aside.
  • In a large pan on the stove over medium-high heat, melt your brown sugar, water and margarine together and stir and continue to heat until it boils.
  • Remove from heat and immediately stir in your Nestle's Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips. Mix until melted.
  • Beat your eggs with a fork and then stir them into the chocolate mixture.
  • Add the dry ingredients and stir them in with a fork until completely combined. If your dough seems runny (and like you can't make blobs with it) add a little bit more flour.
  • Roll into large balls (see image below) and drop onto a cookie sheet (preferably with a Silpat mat). If you don’t have a Silpat mat make sure you have a greased cookie sheet.

Cookie dough balls should be large and fill most of your hand:

  • Bake for about 10-11 minutes. While they bake you can make your caramel sauce and frosting. Scroll down for that recipe.

When your cookies come out of the oven, press them down gently with the bottom of a cup to form a flat cookie with a bit of a rim around the edges:

  • Allow the cookies to cool.

 

Caramel Sauce Recipe

Crazy Little Projects
This homemade caramel sauce will make you drool! Only three ingredients to make it and it tastes so good!
Print Recipe
Prep Time 15 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 C Sugar
  • 6 Tbsp butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 C Heavy Cream at room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Read through all of these instructions before you begin so that you are prepared because you need to move kind of fast.
  • Pour sugar into a pot on the stove and begin to cook over medium high heat.
  • As the sugar starts to melt it will clump into little sugar rocks. Begin to whisk it at this time. Keep whisking and it will start to melt into a liquid. If the sugar gets stuck inside your whisk, switch to a spoon for a while.
  • Keep whisking and stirring until the temperature reaches 350 degrees or it’s a nice, deep amber color.
  • Then, stir in your butter. Be ready because it is going to spit at you a little here. Once that is fully incorporated, add your heavy cream and mix that in. Keep mixing until you can get all of the lumps out.
  • Let this sit for about 10 minutes or so to set up.

 

CARAMEL FROSTING RECIPE:

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks of softened butter
  • 3-4 C powdered sugar
  • About 1/4 cup of milk
  • About 1/2 C of your caramel sauce that you just made

Instructions
 

  • Mix all of this together. If it’s too thick, add more milk. If it’s too runny, add more powdered sugar. You want it fairly thick.
  • Now, frost your cookies, then drizzle caramel sauce on top. Sprinkle with salt and eat!

    U can also boil a can of sweetened condensed milk (unopened) an it turns into caramel. I have done this many times to add to candy recipes. Adding the salt is what got my attention. Love the combo of chocolate and salt…nothing better to bend your knees!
