Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars - A sensational layer of ooey-gooey caramel sandwiched between soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies!

As an absolute lover of food, my mind is always spinning, thinking of new ideas to put on our table.  Just like any mom, I know I have my go-to recipes that I make often, but there is just something about hanging out in the kitchen, experimenting with ingredients and creating something sensational!  

One particular day, my littlest peanut asked if we could make cookies.  My Vanilla Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies to be exact.  If you have not yet tried them, you must!  They are, by far, the softest, chewiest cookies I have ever eaten.  While I do love them, on this particular day, I wanted to get a little creative and mix up something new.  This caused a bit of an argument with Emzlee, though.  She was determined to eat some cookie dough, and I really couldn’t deny the fact that I would enjoy that as well.  

That is when the idea came to me!  Make the same yummy cookie dough along with some ooey-gooey caramel and prepare to eat something awesome!  And that is just what we did!  Emzlee and I created Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, and I can guarantee they will be made again and again in our house!
