These simple cookies are full of caramel and chocolate goodness. The actual cookie has oats and nuts which not only makes it semi healthy (I say semi because then you add the caramel and chocolate and cancel out any ounce of healthy it could have possibly had) and then baked to golden brown crisp perfection. The inside is still thick and chewy, though! After that, you top with caramel, chocolate and then a light sprinkle of salt and you have a fancy cookie made in no time!
Check out what our friends over at Pillsbury had to say about this:
“Chocolate lovers won’t be able to resist these caramel-topped cookies drizzled with melted chocolate.”
Oh yea, we chocolate lovers definitely cannot resist these! I could eat these at any time of day!
