Grocery List
1 c. butter
¾ c. sugar
¾ c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2¼ c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
14-16 oz. caramels
5 oz. milk (evaporated or whole)
½ c. peanut butter
Here's how...
To make the cookie batter, begin by creaming the butter and sugar.
Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Spread half of the dough into a buttered 9x13" baking dish and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until barely golden brown.
Unwrap the caramels and put them into a double boiler with 5 oz. of milk. When melted, stir in peanut butter and stir until smooth.
Pour the caramel/peanut butter over the warm cookie dough and then drop the remaining cookie dough on top of the caramel a couple Tablespoonfuls at a time, spreading the dough out as much as possible to cover more surface area.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Let cool.
