I have quite a few cookie recipes that I make during the Holiday Season. However this easy and chewy caramel cookies recipe is on the top of my list. When I decide which cookies will be baked and made first for my cookie exchange parties, teachers gifts, neighbor gifts – this homemade recipe always wins.

Even my cat has agreed that these cookies are the best so far. She came to keep me company during my taking pictures of the cookies. I just adore this photo (cat parents will understand.)
Here’s a delicious TEA idea to go with these chewy cookies
Holiday Season Edition of M&M’s With Chewy Caramel
You may rejoice that this recipe can take any of your favorite fillings like chocolate chip cookies, caramel bits, M&M’s, raisins, and oats.
What I love doing during the Holiday Season is to add some color: greens and reds and whites. The Holiday Edition of M&M’s is a perfect match to this recipe.
If you like cookies, you may adore these robin egg blue speckled cookies for birthdays or Easter or any other occasion.
Add Salt on Top of the Cookies If You Wish
One of my friends adds a bit of coarse salt into the recipe of these homemade caramel cookies. The salt does not melt and adds that unique and craved flavor to the caramel bits.
If you have someone with a birthday this month, here’s a festive-looking Birthday Cake sugar cookie recipe with packaging ideas.
Another suggestion to the decoration of these most demanded in my household cookie recipe is that you can change the dressing. I used powered sugar. You can use glaze, melted caramel strips or chocolate drizzle. Whatever your sweet tooth desires – give it to it!
Soft And Chewy Is A Trademark of these Homemade Caramel Cookies
These not-too-sweet cookies are loaded with caramel chips. Melted during the baking, caramel adds a nice softness to each cookie. Brown sugar flavor with chewy caramel is a superb combo for my palate!
If you love that caramel taste, here’s a Caramel Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies to bake.
