Caramel Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie

Caramel Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie combines all the best cookie flavors – oatmeal, chocolate and caramel. All rolled into one.

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 food so I decided to try adding in some Rice Krispy cereal to my oatmeal cookie.

Not bad but it was missing a little something.

I had a bag of these little babies in my pantry so I thought I’d throw a cup or so of them in. I was so excited to see that our Target with a newly expanded food section carried these Caramel Bits. Previously the only place I had been able to find them was in Utah at Wal-Mart. A little too far to go on a regular basis! (I have no Wal-Mart nearby here in Portland)

Better but still, something was missing. Yes, you guessed it – chocolate. So in went a cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. Yes, we reached perfection. How can anything not taste better with a little chocolate and caramel added in.

The progression of a cookie.

The caramel bits add a perfect amount of gooeyness to the cookie that is divine. The chocolate is the crowning touch.

After I scoop the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet I flatten the cookies a bit with my hand. This helps get that nice browned, crispy edge to the cookie.

There you have it, the birth of a cookie.
