Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Step 1

Melt the caramels into the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat before setting it aside to cool while you continue on.

Step 2

Cream the butter and sugar together before mixing in the vanilla extract followed by the egg.

Step 3

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt before mixing into the butter and sugar mixture, before mixing in the chocolate chips.

Step 4

Press 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of a greased 8 inch square baking pan, pour the caramel on top, sprinkle on the salt, and gently press the remaining dough on top.

Step 5

Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the sides are lightly golden brown and the caramel is bubbling, about 15-20 minutes before removing from the oven to cool before slicing and enjoying!
