Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
  6. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Create a small indentation in the center of each dough ball and fill it with caramel sauce.

  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
