Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips gently.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared sheets, leaving space between each.
Create small indentations in the center of each dough ball and fill with caramel sauce.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers appear slightly underbaked.
Allow to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
