Currently these caramel chocolate chip cookies 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 stuffed cookies, you can find the recipe here.

I purchased my muffin top pan from Amazon and used the Wilton brand to create a deep dish cookie. You can find it on Amazon here.

Ingredients for caramel stuffed cookies

• chilled chocolate chip cookie dough
  • store bought or homemade
• caramel squares: I highly recommend using Bequet Confections caramel.  It is the best caramel available for purchase around - I've never recommended another.  They've given everyone a 25% discount code "hannahgray25off".

Chocolate chip caramel cookies 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. Enjoy the deep dish cookies!
