Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks
- ½ cup caramel chunks
- ½ cup assorted chocolate pieces for topping
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream for drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This will ensure that the leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout your dough.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This step is crucial for giving your cookies the right texture.
- Incorporate wet ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined. The egg helps bind the dough together, while the vanilla adds depth to the flavor.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent your cookies from becoming too tough.
- Fold in the chunks: Gently fold in the white chocolate chunks and caramel chunks. These add gooey pockets of sweetness throughout each cookie.
- Shape and bake: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 tablespoons per cookie, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Finishing touches: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a few assorted chocolate pieces into each cookie while they are still warm. This creates an eye-catching and delicious final touch.
- Cool and drizzle: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the heavy cream over the cookies for an extra touch of decadence before serving.

- Measuring Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to ensure accurate measurements for dry ingredients like flour and sugars. This can help you achieve the right texture and consistency for your cookies.
- Chilling the Dough: If you want your cookies to have a slightly thicker texture, consider chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
