Servings 4 large cookies

Ingredients

  • 56 grams salted butter, melted
  • 135 grams light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150 grams all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 120 grams mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 chocolate covered caramel squares, I used Ghirardelli Dark Sea Salt Caramel Chocolates
  • pinch of sea salt flakes

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) convection OR 325F (163C) conventional and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, microwave the butter for 20-30 seconds, just until it's melted (if it gets super hot, then let it cool a little bit).

  3. Add the light brown sugar to the melted butter and whisk together for about a minute. Add in the egg and vanilla and whisk until it's completely smooth.

  6. Split cookie dough into 4 large (4oz) pieces. Flatten them into a disc, place a caramel chocolate in the center and use the edges of the cookie dough to wrap it up like a present (see photos).

  7. Bake one sheet on the middle rack for 14 minutes on convection or 16 minutes on conventional, just until the edges are starting to brown and the center is puffed and no longer looks wet.
  8. Remove them from the oven, give the pan a quick tap on the counter and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before transferring off the cookie sheet.
  9. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and enjoy warm!
