I love that these cookies are made with real caramel. It makes them so much more flavorful than cookies made with caramel extract.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The caramel is perfectly balanced by the chocolate.

I was a little skeptical about the caramel and chocolate combination, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The caramel is gooey and the chocolate is rich and decadent.

These cookies are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can use different types of chocolate chips or nuts to change up the flavor.

I love how easy these cookies are to make. I didn't have any caramel squares on hand, so I used caramel sauce instead. They turned out great!
