These cookies, oh my goodness! They are absolutely amazing! They are the perfect combination of sweet and salty, not to mention the amazing gooey caramel center. I also highly recommend eating them when they come right out of the oven and the caramel is still ooey and gooey and melts right in your mouth. To be honest, I have eaten entirely too many of them over the last few weeks. >> They also make the perfect gift for anybody on your list that has a sweet tooth. Happy baking!
