Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars…um what else is there? These bars an irresistible caramel layer sandwiched right between two layers of chocolate chip cookies! This is the cookie of all cookies and only takes two, that’s right, two ingredients! Be prepared to fall in love!
So all of the other food bloggers are posting all different kinds of beautiful salads and steamed veggies in January and I’m over here posting Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars! What’s wrong with me? Who cares! I’d eat a salad every day for lunch and not get sick of it, but…after that salad I NEED a dessert! Who’s with me?
I want to know which part of Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars {Two Ingredients} caught you attention first? Was it caramel? Or chocolate chip cookie bars? Or two ingredient? Because in my book all of those things are pretty awesome on their own. Put them all together and we have a stellar combination on our hands!
When I was first married we built lots of corrals for the cows and we poured lots of concrete. For some reason I offered my help and it was discovered that I have an eye for keeping things straight. And ever since I’ve been the person who gets to level all the posts on the farm.
The other day Justin called me and wanted me to come help him set and level posts in the concrete he was pouring for a new walkway for our cows. The fence we had there before was falling down and it desperately needed fixed.
To be honest I really didn’t want to help. I had just gotten back from a jog and was getting all ready to make cookies. Being the nice wife that I am I only complained a little bit about having to go over by the barn and straighten posts.
When I got there they weren’t even ready for me. I left cookie making for this? I stood there, holding my level for awhile and it seemed like forever. My poor fingers were getting cold and I even asked if one of the kids could just hold the level instead of me. Then I could go home and get on with my cookie making project.

I didn’t get off the hook that easy because the kids couldn’t level a post if their lives depended on it. They must see crooked! So I was stuck with the job.
By time I got my work finished up I had lost my drive for dragging out all my ingredients and making cookies, BUT I hadn’t lost my craving for cookies!
Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are the most decadent cookies in the world and are the easiest things ever to make! We are talking two ingredients here friends; store bought cookie dough (or make your own if you haven’t been spending your afternoon pouring concrete) and a can of dulce de leche! You can’t beat that for easy!
Honestly the hardest part about making these cookies is letting them sit long enough to be set up! And it’s hard sharing them too!
Next time your day doesn’t quite go as planned you can still have Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars! Here’s me hoping your day doesn’t get interrupted with pouring concrete and setting posts…unless it’s summer time! In the summer it’s fun!

These chocolate chip cookie bars look beyond delicious! Love the dulce de leche in the recipe! All that’s missing is serving them warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and big glass of milk!
Cookies always need a big huge scoop of ice cream or and ice cold glass of milk! At least that’s what us dairy farmers think!

Anytime you mix chocolate and caramel you end up with amazing right?
I’d love to have you share a spot at our kitchen table with us! My boys are out of control most of the time. And most of the time I think it’s funny and my husband thinks I’m immature! But at the end of the day we always have fun! Come on over!
