Ingredients
Method
Cookie Dough
- Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, then add the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin, divide the dough evenly into 12 portions, and press each portion into the muffin cups.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Once they come out of the oven, use the back of a spoon to create a well in the centre.
Salted Caramel
- Melt the Butter and Sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the Condensed Milk: Pour in the condensed milk and continue to stir as the mixture begins to simmer. Once it reaches a light boil, reduce the heat slightly and continue stirring to avoid sticking.
- Thicken the Caramel: Allow the caramel to cook for around 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly until it thickens and reaches a rich golden colour. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Add Salt and Finish: Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the salt. Taste, and add a bit more salt if you’d like a stronger salted flavour. Allow the caramel to cool slightly before using or storing.
Assemble
- Add a spoon of salted caramel into the well of the cookie cup and drizzle with melted chocolate and chopped peanuts.
- Allow the caramel and chocolate to set and carefully remove the cookie cup from the muffin case. Enjoy!
