Caramel Fill Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups- -An easy and quick dessert that packs a punch! Soft chocolate chips cookies formed into a cup, then, filled with creamy melted caramel. Top them off with coarse sea salt, chocolate syrup, toffee bits or a scoop of ice cream for the finishing touch.

The best desserts are usually the simplest. At least, that’s my opinion. For me, that doesn’t just include dessert recipes, but, all recipes. While I love to bake, sometimes, you need a sweet treat that is easy and hassle free.

These cups? ✘ Easy ✘ Hassle Free ✘ Definitely a sweet treat.

A Short Ingredients List:

• Pre made chocolate chip cookie dough
• Caramels
• Milk

Cookie Dough: You can find pre made cookie dough right in your grocery store. I used a 16 oz package of Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough. The package contains 24 cookies.

Can I Use Another Kind of Cookie?

• Yes. If you wish to try a sugar cookie, peanut butter cookie, etc, they should work fine. However, your baking time may differ.

How to Make:

• First, be sure to grease your muffin pan.
• Then, take two squares of the cookie dough and press them into one well of the muffin pan. Spread out the dough to create a cup. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake.
• Once baked, let them sit in the pan for 5 minutes, then, remove and place on a wire rack to cool.
• While your cups are cooling, make your caramel sauce.
• Melt the caramels and milk until smooth. Be sure to stir frequently and do it over low/medium heat. You don’t want to burn them. Also, if your caramel sauce seems really thick, add another tablespoon of milk to help thin it out.
• Once melted, spoon the caramel into the cookie cups. If you desire to top with sea salt, toffee bits or chocolate syrup, now is the time to do it.
• Let the caramel sit for at least an hour before serving.
