Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Packed
  • 1 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips
Caramel Filling
  • 1 cup Soft caramels (or caramel bits), for stuffing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until creamy and lighter in color.
  4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
  5. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Assembly
  1. Scoop portions of dough and flatten in your palm.
  2. Place a caramel in the center, wrap the dough around it, and seal tightly.
  3. Roll lightly to smooth the seam.
Baking
  1. Bake until edges are lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Let cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For best results, seal the dough tightly to prevent caramel from leaking. Serve warm for the best gooey texture.
