Hey, wanna eat cookies?! Of course I you do!

Today calls for chocolate chip cookies and caramel. Know why? Because I have a list of cookie recipes that I’ve already baked and I need to share them with you asap. Besides, they are all preeeeetty awesome! It’s also cookie season and you and I need to milk that reason while we can.

The cookie drawer in my freezer is bursting at the seams. Did I just say cookie drawer in my freezer?! Why, yes, yes I did! My goodness, I just can’t stop bragging… Yes, I spent some cashola and got me a fancy fridge with freezer drawers… lucky me! Must be the reason why I’m still chillin’ with a hand mixer…

Aaaaaaanywayz.

I’ve got Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Nutella Cookies in there, I also have a dozen of those delicious Chocolate Creamy Cookies, a few dozen Peppermint Raspberry Chocolate Oreo Cookie Balls, and a couple dozen Chocolate Butterscotch Cookies. Hm? Looks like I’m addicted to chocolate. YESSSS! Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate! ‘Tis the Season, baby! Hopefully by next week they will all make it to their intended eaters… I’m not making any promises.

But even after all of that food, last Monday I woke up and my caramel-cravings kicked into high gear. I was like, um, dude, slow down, let’s see what we’ve got in the fridge. Process of elimination showed us (yes, my cravings fit into the whole “us” thing) that we didn’t have anything with caramel, but we found refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough and a few bags of wrapped caramels. SCORE!

In case you have never given cookie cups a try, you need to change that today. It’s just cookie dough shaped into a bowl… That is all. No rocket science behind it. Bake it, cool it, fill it. Your cravings = satisfied.

ENJOY!

      Hi! After they cool down, store them in an airtight container. If you want to stack them up inside the container, use wax paper in between the layers. Hope this helps. 🙂

  1. Does the caramel harden? Curious how these would package, or if they are better to just bake and share at home.

  2. Caramel is my absolute favorite! These look amazing! Will pin to Christmas board and cookies and bars board.

      Hi Christina! The caramel filling will not freeze, but you can certainly freeze the cookie cups and, when ready to use, take them out and leave on counter to thaw. After that, you can fill them with the caramel filling. Hope that helps!

  3. I really want to sink my teeth in one of those delicious cookies! A cookie filled with caramel sounds pretty fantastic to me! Yum, Hugs, Terra

    These look awesome! We all get caramel cravings sometimes :). I had to buy a whole separate freezer for all of my treats.

  5. Delicious!!! This is my kind of cookie – the kind I’d want to keep all to myself and enjoy at 3am whilst watching television.

    Me, me, me, me, me! You KNOW how much I love caramel. I’d have to use sugar cookie dough instead of chocolate chip, but yeah, I’m all over these. And personally, I’d trade my stand mixer for your fancy fridge!
