Dulce de Leche Chocolate Chip Cookies
Servings 32 +/-
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
- Wire Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 2½ cups flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1¼ cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
- ¼ cup dulce de leche divided
- Flaked sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Beat the softened butter and brown sugar, scraping down the sides, until creamy, using a hand mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until creamy.
- With the mixer on low, add in the flour.
- Mix in 1¼ cups of chocolate chips on low.
- With a rubber spatula, gather the cookie dough in one cohesive spot in the bowl. Using a cooking scoop, scoop 3 tablespoons of dulce de leche into 3 distinct and separate places in the cookie dough.
- Mix again on low just a few times so the dulce de leche ribbons are throughout the batter. Stop after 3-5 rotations.
- Use the same cookie scoop to drop rounded balls on the prepared baking sheet a few inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crisp on the edges and soft in the middle. Side Note: The cookies may be mishaped a little bit because of the oozing caramel pieces, but they will taste so good!
- Remove from the oven and immediately top each cookie with the remaining chocolate chips. Cool on a wire cooling rack.
- If desired, when serving, drizzle the top with a bit of dulce de leche and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt; otherwise, serve as is. Enjoy!
