    Salted Caramel Chocolate Chunk Cookies on 5DollarDinners.com

    I need you to RUN right now to the store and buy one of the following. Or just buy them all, so you can make these over and over in all the different ways!

    • Chocolate chunk baking chips & “Caramel Bits”
    • Rolos & chocolate chips
    • Caramel filled baking chips

    Oh, and I assume you have the basic ingredients for making cookie dough…if you don’t grab all that stuff too 😉 Just go crazy and hit up that baking aisle and get all you need for a binge cookie baking sesh. (Kidding, sorta.)

    I got so excited about these cookies that I hopped on Periscope (new live video streaming app) while I was prepping the dough…because there’s just that much to say about these bad boys. I detailed all of the different ways you could make these Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies…including with a Rolo stuffed in the middle of the cookie dough. (Recipe below is different from the Rolo one!)

    • Here is the replay of the live Periscope about these cookies!

    {Follow me on Periscope and/or Instagram!}

    Couple Tips for These Cookies

    1. Soften Cookie Dough completely.
    2. If the butter isn’t softened all the way, cream the butter by itself before creaming with the sugar. These leads to ultimate softness in your dough.
    3. Chill your dough!!! (I know it’s hard, but it’s crucial to get the best cookies!!!!)
    4. If you use the “caramel bits,” you need to eat them warm because the caramel bits will harden when the cookies cool.

    3 Options For Making these Cookies

    1. Rolo Stuffed Cookies
    2. Regular chocolate chips/chunks & caramel bits
    3. Caramel-filled chocolate baking morsels

      I don’t know if these didn’t work because in the Canadian city I live in they don’t sell caramel bits so I substituted Kraft caramels and cut them into little bits the caramel stuck so bad to the pan that the cookies were tearing.

      If anyone ever finds those caramel-filled chips again, I want to know. They made the best cookies, and I have not been able to find them the last two years.

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
