    I needed to update my photos and layout for these cookies, so while making them for the pictures, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed them. Craving a good chocolate cookie with walnuts and caramel chips, I threw in some white chocolate chips, and now this cookie has everything.

    A little sprinkle of powdered sugar on top is all these cookies needed to complete a perfect chocolate cookie.

    Walnuts

    Walnuts have many benefits, and the Healthline.com website gives 13 proven health benefits for the great walnut. I love nuts in my cookies; they have the health benefits and add taste along with texture to almost any cookie you add.

    As scientists continue to explore how the walnut interacts with our bodies, I am sure you will hear many more advantages that this nut can aid us with.

    Time to Make the Cookies

    I start by weighing (you can measure) the white sugar that goes into the cookies. Keep the powdered sugar for after the baked cookies have cooled. Set the bowl aside. Next, weigh or measure the flour, cocoa powder, dark cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. I then run a whisk through to blend the dry ingredients.

    Cubes and slices of butter and cream cheese are getting ready to be mixed.

    Add the room-temperature butter and cream cheese to a mixer bowl.

    Add the sugar and mix on a medium mixer speed for 2 minutes. It should look a little fluffy with soft peaks.

    Adding the egg and vanilla extract ot the cookie dough.

    Scrape down the sides and add the vanilla extract and one of the eggs. Mix the first egg before adding the second.

    Scrape down the bowl and, on a low speed, slowly add the flour mixture into the mixer bowl. It only take about a minute to incorporate the flour mixture.

    Chopped walnuts, white chocolate, and caramel chips are added to the cookie dough.

    The final components for the cookies to be added are the walnuts and the white chocolate and caramel chips. Mix for about 15 seconds.

    All the ingredients mixed together to make White chocolate and caramel chocolate cookies.

    Cover loosely and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

    I use a medium cookie scooper and add 12 scoops to a parchment-lined cookie sheet pan.

    Bake at 350°F (175°C or 180°C) for 10 to 12 minutes. They will be soft on top, but leave them on the pan for a minute or two to give them time to finish baking. There should be a few small crack in the tops. Then, move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling before sprinkling powdered sugar on the tops.

    FAQ's

    Is there a special way to store these cookies?

    No, I store them on my counter in a container with a lid. They should last for about a week.

    If I do not like white chocolate can I use a different chocolate chip?

    Short answer is of course! Caramel chips will go with any type of chocolate so have fun with the flavors.

    What if I want more caramel flavor?

    You can always purchase some caramel bits and stick a few on the tops of the cookie mounds before you bake them. I do not like to add caramel bits to the cookie batter because if the caramel bits are on the bottom when baking they tend to stick to everything you sit them on.

    White Chocolate and Caramel Chocolate Cookies

    Barbara Hall
    I took three flavors that I love: white chocolate, caramel, and cocoa, and wrapped them into one incredible cookie. They are soft, moist, and oh-so chocolaty.

    Ingredients
     

    • ½ cup (113.5 g) Butter unsalted room temperature
    • 8 ounce (8 ounce) Cream Cheese room temperature
    • 1 ½ cup (300 g) Sugar white
    • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Vanilla Extract
    • 2 (2) Eggs
    • 1 ¾ cups (218.75 g) All-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) Baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Sea salt
    • ½ cup (43 g) Unsweetened cocoa powder
    • ¼ cup (21.5 g) Unsweetened dark cocoa powder
    • ½ cup (90 g) White chocolate chips
    • ½ cup (118.29 g) Caramel chips
    • ½ cup (58.5 g) Chopped walnuts
    • Powdered sugar Dust on top after cooled

    Instructions
     

    • In a bowl, weigh or measure the sugar and set aside. In another bowl, weigh or measure the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and dark cocoa powder, and use a whisk to blend the ingredients.
    • Add the butter and cream cheese to a stand or handheld mixer, blending on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the sugar to the mixture and mix for another 2 minutes. You want the mixture to look creamy. I turn the mixer off, scrape down the side, and turn the mixer to medium-low. I add the vanilla extract, then crack one of the eggs into a small bowl (to ensure there are no eggshells) before adding it to the mixer bowl; after the first egg is incorporated, repeat for the 2nd egg.
    • Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides. Turn the mixer to a low speed and slowly add the flour mixture until incorporated. Turn the mixer off and ensure all the flour is down into the cookie dough, then add the caramel chips, white chocolate chip, and walnuts, mixing through on low speed (15 seconds). Cover loosely and refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
    • Preheat over to 350°F (175°C or 180°C) and line 2 cookie sheet pans with parchment paper. Take a medium cookie scoop and add 12 scoops to a pan. Bake for 10 -12 minutes. They will be soft on the tops and should have a few thin cracks. Leave them on the pan for a minute or two before moving them to a cooling rack. This gives the cookies time to firm up before you move them. After they have completely cooled, you can dust the cookies' tops with powdered sugar.
