• White sugar: Adds sweetness and helps the cookies spread.
• Eggs: Bind the ingredients together and provide structure.
• Vanilla extract: Adds flavor to the cookies.
• Creamy peanut butter: Adds nutty flavor and moisture to the cookies.
• All-purpose flour: Provides structure and texture to the cookies.
• Baking soda: Helps the cookies rise and become fluffy.

Yes, you can put caramel in peanut butter cookies, and it’s a delicious addition! 

The caramel bits in this recipe add a chewy texture and a sweet flavor that compliments the peanut butter and chocolate chips perfectly.

Plus caramel tends to be just a bit salty. The chocolate, peanut butter, salty flavor is really one that’s hard to resist!

 

 

How to Store Caramel Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

To store your cookies, let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container.

They can be stored at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

You can also store them in the fridge and keep them for up to a week. 

Though I like the softness of them better when stored on the counter.

 

 

Can You Freeze Caramel Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Yes, you can freeze these cookies! 

Once they have cooled, place them in an airtight container or a freezer bag, and they can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. 

When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them at room temperature.

A great way to do that is to pull out a container of ice cream at the same time! Double yum!

 

 

Can Dogs or Cats Eat Caramel Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies?

No, it’s not recommended to give these cookies to your pets. 

Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and cats, and the sugar and fat content in the cookies can also be harmful to their health.

Always be careful when sharing food with your pets to stick to food formulated just for them.

It tends to go over easier on their digestive systems.

 

 

Are Caramel Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Healthy?

While these cookies are delicious, they are not necessarily healthy. 

They’ve got a pretty high sugar content, and if you ate them for every meal, you’d feel it!

It’s best to enjoy them in moderation as an occasional treat.

However, they may be the best cookie you ever put on your baking tray!

Are Caramel Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Keto?

Creamy caramel, chocolate cookie, and yummy peanut butter!

If you’re following a keto diet, it’s best to look for recipes that use low-carb and sugar-free alternatives.
