Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Ingredients:
2½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
1½ cups packed brown sugar
1 large egg plus 2 egg yolks at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:
1. Preheat
oven to 350 degrees.In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch,
salt, baking powder and baking soda and put aside.
2. In the
bowl of your mixer, add butter and both granulated and brown sugars and cream
together for 3-4 minutes on high until light and fluffy.
3. Next add
in eggs one at a time beating until incorporated. Then add in pure vanilla
extract and beat until smooth.
4. Turn down
your mixer to low and add in flour mixture in three intervals beating after
each addition until well-combined. Lastly, stir in chocolate chips.
5. Place
dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Two hours is even better.
6. Scoop
cookie dough in balls the size of a tablespoon. Add an unwrapped caramel to the
center of 1 ball of dough then add another ball of dough to cover the caramel.
7. Roll into one larger ball of dough and place
on parchment paper lined cookie sheet at least 1½ inches apart.
8. Bake 11-14
minutes. Cookies may seem a little undone but remove from oven if you like them
soft and chewy. If you want them more crisp, bake 14 minutes or longer.
9. Sprinkle
with sea salt and serve.
