What is it about cookies that just make me smile.  Do you ever get that tingly feeling also?  Maybe its just me but the smell and thought of freshly baked cookies not only warms my heart but makes me giddy and smile from ear to ear… and if you know me you already know that’s a pretty BIG smile!

 

Chocolate Chunk Caramel Cookies are what these are.  Or if you want you can call them the 4 C’s.  :-)   A cookie for all chocolate lovers and those who want to add a little extra also… like caramel sea salt!  These cookies aren’t only rich in flavor but soft and chewy with a salty gooey caramel filling inside.  A great ending to a long day!  These babies would be the belle of the ball for any cookie swap party or as a holiday gift.

 

Wouldn’t your face light up if I came to you with a box of these scrumptious babies wrapped up in a pretty bow?

 

I’m not one for eating cookie dough, but I had to contain myself to not eat this all by itself.

 

Oh caramel, how lovely you are…

 

Oh and another thing… this is kinda messy but in a fun kiddie way. :-)

 

buuuuutttiiiffuuuullllllll!

 

Enjoy! :-)
