I guess this is going to be cookie week on my site because I posted a knock off recipe of the Swig Cookie yesterday and I plan on posting another version tomorrow!
Today’s version I actually had in my mind before I even made the original style. I love the combination of chocolate and caramel together. Then sprinkle a little sea salt in there and you’ve completely sold me! I love salty sweet things. It’s like the best of both worlds.
These really came together in no time and are super chewy and gooey. And they bring the wow factor without all the fuss!
