Then add sea salt caramel chips to the batter and presto! Sea Salt Caramel Peanut Butter Cookies are the result. I know I’ve been on a sea salt caramel cookie kick lately.

Sea salt caramel chips aren’t the easiest things to find. I usually get mine at Kroger and they refer to them in their private selection as salted caramel chips. I’ve found the Hershey’s brand at larger Wal-Mart Super Centers, but not at smaller or neighborhood Wal-Mart stores.
This time when I started with my amazing Mrs. Field’s copycat recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies, I substituted Reese’s peanut butter chips and a bag of salted caramel chips. Oh my. They were fantastic. Who would have thought that caramel and peanut butter would taste so great together? You will feel you’re in seventh heaven after one bite of these jewels.
As I write this, I am in the process of training for Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. Along with a friend from our church, I plan to deploy to Northwest Houston tomorrow to help with ongoing efforts to aid Hurricane Harvey victims. I will be assisting with one of the feeding units.
We are setting up a unit in a local church to help feed neighborhood folks who have not eaten for a few days. The needs are great, and while we have a great volunteer network, there’s always need for more volunteers. I live in the Dallas area which is only about four hours away from Houston. So we are off tomorrow morning and return a week from Sunday.
I have felt from the beginning that I have to do something to help. While I still have my health and no kids at home that have to be taken care of, I have no excuse not to go. I’m going as a volunteer with SBC Disaster Relief as they team up with the Red Cross to provide meals. If anyone reading this is also interested in helping, check out this site here and here for more information.
While I am gone I will probably be out of commission as far as blogging goes. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a batch of these terrific Sea Salt Caramel Peanut Butter Cookies for your next tailgating party! They’re not difficult to whip up and everyone will be thrilled from the first bite. You will too. 🙂
Sea Salt Caramel Peanut Butter Cookies are terrific.
These amazing cookies are perfect for tailgating parties.
These cookies are also an excellent choice for Christmas Cookie Exchanges and holiday baking.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Place softened butter in a mixing bowl. Add sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
Mix ingredients with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods. Add sea salt caramel chips and peanut butter chips.
Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon to combine.
Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. Roll dough into balls and place on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 about 13-15 minutes. (I’ve had the cookies take as long as 20 minutes).
Sea Salt Caramel Peanut Butter Cookies are great for potlucks and backyard barbecues, too.
Every mouthful will have you drooling. 🙂
Sea Salt Caramel Peanut Butter Cookies combine the best of peanut butter with the best of caramel. They are so delicious.
Here’s the recipe.
