There are countless recipes that exist that claim they only have 3 ingredients, but then have a bazillion “optional” ingredients that are required.

There are also a bunch of 3 ingredient recipes that look good but lack flavor.

This one, my dear friend, is not one of them.

This recipe for 3 Ingredient Chocolate Caramel Cookies is a true to it’s name.

There are only 3 ingredient and two steps to create the fluffiest, softest and tastiest cookies on the planet.

I will warn you though that these cookies are dangerous.

Because they are so fluffy and light, you can easily convince yourself that you need 2 or 3 or maybe even 10.

My suggestion for you is to bake these and then take them to work with you.

Your co-workers will NEVER in a million years believe there are only 3 ingredients.

THREE.

Dry cake mix, creamy sour cream and yummy salted caramel chips.

That’s IT.

I decided, as is pretty normal for me, to take these to the teachers at my daughters school.

I had them all try out these cookies and before they even knew how to make them, they were gushing about how dang tasty these were.

So much so that they wanted the recipe on the spot.

One teacher asked if she could substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.

I said that I thought it should work since Greek Yogurt and Sour Cream tend to be interchangeable in just about everything.

However I’ve not yet tried this out.

So if you do before me, then please comment below with what your thoughts were!

I love when a recipe is loved so much that people ask for the recipe before it even hits the website.

What is the best way to store these once they cool ? Seems like the will stick to each other if they are stacked???

Right you are! Ha! These are very moist cookies and if stacked may stick to each other. I like to place them on a cookie sheet then cover with foil. I hope you enjoy!

You can use any type of chips. I found salted caramel chips sold at Target and have seen them on occasion at Walmart.
