Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish
  • small saucepan
  • large bowl
  • Hand mixer
  • Cookie scoop
  • small bowl - microwave-safe
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sugar cookie dough 1lb
  • 11 ounces caramels
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup butter room temperature
  • cup sugar
  • cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • Maldon sea salt flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9” x 13” baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Press the cookie dough in an even layer on the bottom of the pan and place in the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden brown.
  • Remove and let cool.
  • In a small saucepan, unwrap the caramels and add the heavy cream and cook over low heat, stirring frequently until completely melted.
  • Pour over the cooled cookie crust and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the heavy cream, vanilla and salt and mix.
  • Add in the flour and mix until incorporated.
  • Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Drop scoops of the cookie dough over the caramel to create and even layer over the top.
  • The dough will be sticky, but small scoops dropped close together will make it easier to spread without messing up the caramel layer.
  • In a small, microwave safe bowl, place the remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter and heat in short increments until completely melted and smooth.
  • Pour over the top of the cookie dough and smooth with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle the top with sea salt flakes and place in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
  • Once thoroughly chilled, slice into bars and serve.
