Salty Caramel Puddle Cookies

 
 

Who doesn’t love a super chewy and chocolatey cookie? Stephen and I had been craving something with chocolate in it, so I made a half batch of these. They came out soft in the center and tasted like a brownie would. They were absolutely decadent! The combination of chocolate and caramel along with the added nuts and sea salt is heavenly! Oh, and trust me, these aren’t going to be super salty, they’ve just got the perfect hint of salt which you can omit if desired. If you need something to satisfy your sweet tooth, I’d highly recommend making some of these!
