Use a mixer to mix butter in a separate bowl. Add white and brown sugar and continue mixing. Add eggs and vanilla.
Once blended, add flour mixture and chocolate chips.
Line a baking sheet.
Take a tablespoon of the dough and create a ball. Push one of the caramels into the middle of the ball of cookie dough and re-roll to completely cover the caramel.
Place on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
Notes
Caramel Bits: For more caramel flavor, add caramel chips to your best cookies.
Sea Salt: Top with flaky sea salt for a sweet and salty twist for the best cookies ever.
Drizzle: After you let the cookies cool on the baking sheet, try drizzling your cookies with caramel sauce on top of each cookie, just like a caramel apple.
Chocolate: Make these caramel cookies with your favorite type of chocolate. Use the type of chocolate you like, even use chocolate chunks for the best flavor.
