Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. fine salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup caramels (about 20) halved
  • 1 cup assorted miniature chocolate candy bars roughly chopped (about 16)
  • 1/4 cup small button-shaped chocolate candies such as M&M’s, for decorating

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugars and vanilla on high until fluffy and pale, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs.
  • With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture in three additions until combined. Fold in caramels and candy bars.
  • On parchment-lined baking sheets, press cookie dough into 2-inch circles, 2 inches apart (9 cookies per baking sheet). Bake 8 minutes in preheated oven. Remove from oven and press M&M’s onto cookies. Return to oven and bake for 8-9 more minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
