Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until a soft cookie dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cookie base to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 5: Once cooled, spread the caramel sauce evenly over the cookie base. If the caramel is too thick, gently warm it in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to spread.
Step 6: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer and spread it to the edges.
Step 7: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is firm. Use the parchment overhang to lift the whole slab out of the pan, trim the edges if you like, and cut into bars or squares. Store in an airtight container and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Use a high-quality caramel sauce or make your own for the best flavor and texture.
Try mixing semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips for a balanced chocolate layer.
For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts over the caramel before adding the chocolate.
If your caramel is too runny, chill it slightly before spreading to avoid dripping.

Storage

Store these cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week. To soften the chocolate before serving, let bars sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. These bars also freeze well for up to 2 months—wrap tightly and thaw in the fridge overnight.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought caramel sauce?

Yes, store-bought caramel sauce works perfectly and saves time. Just make sure it has a spreadable consistency; warm gently if needed.

What’s the best way to cut the bars without cracking the chocolate?

Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry before slicing. Chill the bars well to set the chocolate firmly, then cut gently in a single smooth motion.
