Want a taste of heaven? These salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are the stuff that dreams are made of. Why?

Because they’re stuffed with chocolate and caramel.

I’m of the belief cookies should always be stuffed, just for a little added surprise, but there’s another secret.t

A crack of sea salt on top. It puts them over.the.edge.

These cookies won me over for their texture. Bonus for being nearly identical to the chocolate chip cookies I’ve been trying to recreate from the bakery just a few miles away from us. Yep, these babies are bakery quality. They stack up to any competition! I just wish I could say I wrote this recipe myself. They are thick, chewy, stuffed with rolos and topped with sea salt.

Like a lot of my favorite cookie doughs, this one requires you to chill the dough for 2 hours. It’s worth it.

And don’t forget that crack of sea salt on top – this is a great enhancement to any cookie. Resist the temptation to bake longer and enjoy!
