Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 11 ounce caramel package unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt for topping cookie

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F and grease a 12 inch cast iron skillet
  • Combine 1 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy.
  • Add in the 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda and continue to mix until a soft dough is formed.
  • Fold in the 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks. (reserve some of the chocolate and caramels for topping the cookie if desired)
  • Place the 11 ounce caramel package unwrapped and 2 tablespoons heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Cook for 2 minutes, until melted and bubbly.
  • Place 1/2 of the cookie dough into the cast iron skillet and press out evenly in the bottom of the pan.
  • Pour the melted caramel over the top of the cookie dough in the pan, making sure not to go right to the edge.
  • Place pieces of the remaining cookie dough over the top of the caramel until covered.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is soft but not jiggly.
  • Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt over the top of the cookie just before serving.
