- 6Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 7Repeat with the remaining dough.Tip: Caramel baking chips are available in the baking section of many supermarkets; if unavailable you can use salted caramel chips, white, milk or dark chocolate chips instead.
