  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup butter (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ cups old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup toffee bits
  • 14 caramels
  • Flaked salt for topping

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla; mix until smooth.
  2. Gradually add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour; mix just until combined. Fold in oats and toffee bits gently.
  3. Scoop dough into balls using a tablespoon, placing one soft caramel in the center of each ball without pushing it too far in. Chill dough for at least 2 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 365°F (185°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper; place cookie balls on sheets, sprinkle with flaked salt, and bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden.
