Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe just needs a tall glass of milk and you! It’s autumn so it’s that time of year where we’re all reaching for salted caramel and pumpkin!! These cookies are made with three different kinds of sweetness– salted caramel, peanut butter, and milk chocolate chips. Then… we wrap them all up in an amazingly soft cookie dough! There’s just something about a warm, from the oven, homemade cookie, and a tall glass of milk that speaks to all of us, right?! Every once in awhile, we’ve just got to indulge in this fabulous treat. Mmmmm hmm. 🙂

Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

I love to bake when I’m home, and in a way it’s like therapy for me. When I pull out the kitchen aid and set my eggs into a bowl of warm water to bring them to room temperature, I’m reminded of all the times I helped my mom and Gram make cookies when I was young. I’m also reminiscent of baking over the years with my own kiddos, too. They are such sweet memories for me! So, when I finally get to enjoy the first bite of a warm from the oven cookie… I feel so sweetly pleased to enjoy home baked cookies and all those unforgettable memories!

How to make Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Coat baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Using a mixer cream butter until smooth, add brown sugar and granulated sugar; cream 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla, eggs; mix 3 minutes or until smooth.
  • Meanwhile in a separate mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and sea salt; whisk to combine.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet, all at one time, mix until 80% incorporated.
  • Add milk chocolate chips and caramel bits; stir by hand to incorporate.
  • Using a large cookie scoop, scoop onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle tops of dough with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Bake 8-9 minutes (do not over bake).
  • Remove to cooling racks, cool completely.

A few helpful tips for baking at higher elevations: 

  • If you live 3,000 feet above sea level or more, it is considered high elevation and may take longer to cook/bake. 
  • Adjustments are needed for 5000+ feet and above:
  • Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 2 tablespoons.
  • Increase liquid: for each cup, add 2 to 4 tablespoons.
  • Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.
  • Check if it is done a little early.
  • This takes some trial and error to get it right for you.

    Hi – I started to make your salted caramel, peanut butter, chocolate chip cookies, but I see in the third step it calls for adding granulated sugar. Granulated sugar is not mentioned in the ingredients. How much do I add? Thanks again!
