Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Who doesn’t love a good oatmeal cookie, especially one that has a little extra something added in.
I like a little crunch and texture to my cookies so I decided to try adding in some Rice Krispie cereal to my oatmeal cookie. It was a great choice but the cookie still needed something else.
One of the things I keep stocked in my pantry are caramel bits. Not only are they delicious in cookies they are perfect for a little treat when that sweet tooth needs some love. They were a great addition but something was still missing.
Yes, you guessed it, chocolate. So in went a cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. Finally, we reached perfection. How can anything not taste better with a little chocolate and caramel added in.

Tips from leigh Anne
- Cookie dough can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days before baking.
- If you want to keep your dough longer than that you can freeze the cookie dough in balls and store in an airtight container. When you are ready for a fresh baked cookie, simply pull out the desired number of dough balls, let thaw, and bake according to the recipe directions.
- You can also bake your cookies and then freeze them. For all my How To Freeze Cookies Tips read this post.
- If you want your oatmeal caramel chocolate chip cookies to stay fresh longer, add a piece of bread in your air tight container or Ziploc bag. It helps absorb the air and will help keep the cookies nice and moist.

Cookie looks yummy and I just wanted to say that I love, love, love the new look of your website! Many times when people update their sites I don’t like the site…in fact there have been a few that I liked so little that I lost interest in the site totally. Funny how something looks can either invite you in or turn you away. Anyway…It’s more than pretty it is beautiful!
