These Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are a twist on the best chocolate chip cookie recipe! Caramels are stuffed inside the cookie and become ooey gooey and so delicious once baked! Take these cookies to every summer picnic or fall event and even make for Christmas time!
Chocolate chip cookies are good, right? Well you know what is even better? A chocolate chip cookie stuffed with caramel! I love cookies with a twist and this combination of chocolate and caramel is just so good! This dough comes together quickly and easily and in less than 2o minutes, you have fresh cookies! I love eating them before they cool and the caramel is still gooey!
Fall is coming and I feel like caramel is synonymous with fall! It is warm and comforting and gooey, just like the season! I was going to save this recipe for Christmas cookie baking but then I realized that new cookie recipes are good any time during the year!

How do you stuff chocolate chip cookies?
The easiest way to “stuff” these cookies is to use a cookie scoop. Place one scoop on the cookie sheet, place the caramel on top, and then put another scoop of dough on top. Lightly smoosh the two together and that’s it! Since you are using two scoops of dough, these are a bigger cookie!
Stuffing the cookie makes it sound way fancier than it is, but it is a really easy technique that elevates this cookie from just a plain ol’ chocolate chip cookie! If you can use a cookie scoop, you can make this easy chocolate chip cookie recipe.
