Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups Caramel candies, unwrapped
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving 0.5 cup for later.

Step 7

Spread half of the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. It will create a thin layer.

Step 8

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 9

Pour the melted caramel evenly over the dough layer in the baking dish.

Step 10

Drop spoonfuls of the remaining dough over the caramel layer, leaving some of the caramel exposed for a gooey texture.

Step 11

Sprinkle the reserved 0.5 cup of chocolate chips over the top.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.

Step 13

Allow the Ooey Gooies to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into bars. Serve warm for extra gooeyness, or let them cool completely for a firmer texture.
