Can I use white chocolate chips instead of chunks?

Absolutely! Chunks give those melty pockets I love, but chips work great too. Just know they won't be quite as gooey. Pro tip: If using chips, try adding an extra tablespoon of butter to keep them soft.

Why did my cookies come out flat?

Usually, this means your butter was too soft or the dough got too warm. Next time, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking. Also, check that your baking soda isn't expired, that little leavening agent does important work!

Can I make these without the caramel?

Of course! The caramel adds magic, but they're still amazing without it. Try adding nuts or swapping in dark chocolate for a different twist.

How do I get perfectly round cookies?

The secret's in the scoop! Use a cookie scoop for uniform size, and if they spread unevenly, gently nudge the edges with a spoon right after baking while they're still soft.

Can I double this recipe?

You bet! I do it all the time, just mix in batches if your bowl gets too full. The dough keeps well in the fridge for 3 days too, so you can bake fresh cookies all week!
