soooo… what are you waiting for go make yo’ self some Caramel Sauce! Cause you're gonna need it for these super chewy + yum bakery style Caramel Macadamia Cookies!
The scoop on these Caramel Macadamia Cookies:
- Make the Best Caramel Sauce the night before would be best but at least 6 course before making the cookies so it has time to firm up in the freezer, spread a layer of caramel on parchment paper and place in the freezer until firm.
- After that you literally only need 1 bowl, melt the butter + stir in the rest of the wet ingredients.
- Add in the dry and mix well, and fold in the macadamia nuts.
- For the caramel you want to scrape off chunks and roll them into small balls so you can add them to the cookie dough and fold them in, reserve some for placing on top the cookie once you put them on the baking sheet and flatten them, I like the way some gooey caramel looks on top the cookie!
- Be careful not to over bake these cookies, if you do they will become a crunchy cookie instead of chewy so just be sure to take them out 1-2 minutes before you think they are done and let them completely cool and continue baking on the baking sheet!
I know you are going to love them! I mean, chewy and indulgently yummy… what’s not to love?!
