What’s better than home baked cookies? I can only come to think of one thing. Home baked cookies with a surprise filling on the inside. These chewy chocolate cookies have a delicious and wonderful salted caramel filling inside of them which will make anyone eating them positively surprised. The combination of the rich chewy chocolate cookie with the creamy and salty salted caramel filling is just divine. These cookies are easy to make, but do need some preparation of the salted caramel in advance since it needs to be chilled in the freezer. Make these cookies for an afternoon snack or sweet treat. They are both vegan, gluten and sugar free, but also made using apple sauce to make them lower in fat and less greasy.
A few tips:
- Since the salted caramel needs to be placed in the freezer to get hard you need some preparation when making these cookies. You can prepare the salted caramel whenever suits you and then take it out from the freezer when ready to bake.
- This batch makes 5-6 cookies. But make sure to make them equally sized to have the same baking time for all of them.
- Then assembling the cookies you can either roll the cookie dough into a ball and then press the salted caramel ball into it and seal it. Or you can make small round patties out of the cookie dough and then wrap it around the salted caramel filling.
- Make sure to seal the cookies throughly so that the filling doesn’t leak while baking.
- These cookies don’t spread so shape them into desired shaped before baking them.
