Celebrate National Cookie Day With This Recipe!
It’s national cookie day, and not one to miss such a day I whipped up these deliciously moorish salted caramel cookies.
For the cookie dough
125g butter
100g light brown soft sugar
100g caster sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
225g self-raising flour
200g chocolate
For the salted caramel
I was hungry and cheated a bit here. I bought the ready-made carnation caramel which I’m going to heat up add some Maldon Sea Salt then plonk a teaspoon worth in the middle of each cookie.
Step 1
Turn your oven to 180°
Step 2
Soften your butter then add both your sugars till you have a smooth creamed butter.
Step 3
Beat your egg slightly before adding it to your butter and sugar and mixing in with your vanilla.
Step 4
Sift in your flour, mix together then add your broken bits of chocolate before fully mixing together.
Step 5
Roll your bits of cookie dough into walnut size balls and place on parchment paper on your baking tray. With a fork squish the cookie dough down slightly and plonk in the oven for 8 minutes.
Step 6
Heat your caramel in a saucepan with sea salt then plop a teaspoon in the middle of each cookie before putting them back in the oven for a further 2 minutes.
Step 7
Take out of the oven and leave to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 8
Try not to eat all at once…
