Viral caramel stuffed chocolate chip cookies

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

These viral caramel stuffed chocolate chip cookies are thick, delicious, and filled with a gooey caramel center. The deep dish caramel stuffed chocolate chip cookies use a muffin top pan to bake in.

Currently they have almost six million views on Instagram. I used store-bought cookie dough and homemade caramel. You could also use homemade chocolate chip cookie dough and store-bought caramel! If you are making your own chocolate chip cookie dough, I would recommend refrigerating it before use.

If you would like to make your own homemade caramel for these cookies, you can find the recipe here.

I purchased my muffin top pan from Amazon and used the Wilton brand. You can find it on Amazon here.

If the video below is not working, you can find a quick clip of what the cookie dough wrapped around the caramel looks like on my YouTube page here.

Ingredients

chilled chocolate chip cookie dough
- store bought or homemade
caramel squares

Instructions

Unwrap caramel if using store-bought or cut caramel into 1" squares if using homemade. Freeze unwrapped caramel for 10 minutes prior to using.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Spray muffin top pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Take approximately 3 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough (or three squares of precut break and bake cookies) and form a flattened cookie shape in your hand.
Place a piece of frozen caramel in the middle of the cookie dough. Place two more tablespoons of cookie dough on top of the caramel. Wrap all of the cookie dough around the caramel so no caramel shows.
Place cookie in one cavity of the deep dish pan. Repeat until pan is full.
Bake for at 350F for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden brown and middles are not jiggly.
Cool to the touch before removing from pan
