Description
Carmelitas are a delightful treat combining rich chocolate chip cookie dough, creamy caramel, and chocolate chips. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with easy preparation!
Ingredients
Scale
- 30 ounces chocolate chip cookie dough, refrigerated, store-bought dough, or homemade
- 11 ounces caramels
- ¼ cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Slice a little more than half of the cookie dough into 1/4" rounds and lay in a single layer on a parchment-lined 9-inch square baking pan.
- Press the dough into a single, solid, even layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Combine unwrapped caramels and evaporated milk in a microwave-safe container and heat on high for 1 minute. Stir and heat in 30-second intervals until melted.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the slightly cooled cookie crust.
- Drizzle caramel on top of the chocolate chips.
- Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the caramel, not needing to be perfect.
- Return the baking pan to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes until just beginning to turn golden brown.
- Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Make sure to refrigerate before cutting for cleaner slices.
These are best served at room temperature.
