Instructions
- Craft a luxurious mixture by melting butter and allowing it to cool slightly in a spacious mixing vessel.

- Carefully incorporate semi-sweet chocolate chips, miniature chocolate chips, and chopped dark chocolate, ensuring complete flour integration.
- Utilize a substantial three-tablespoon scoop to portion cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking surfaces, creating twelve generously sized cookies.
- Refrigerate the raw dough for half an hour to enhance structural integrity and flavor development.
- Remove chilled dough and meticulously roll each portion into perfect spheres, creating a central cavity.
- Nestle a chocolate-enrobed caramel into each dough ball’s core, delicately sealing the caramel within the cookie’s embrace.
- Return stuffed dough balls to refrigeration while preheating the oven to 350°F.
- Strategically position stuffed cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets, providing adequate spacing for expansion.
- Bake individual trays for precisely twelve minutes, rotating midway for uniform golden coloration.
