Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup lightly salted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until fully incorporated.
  4. Mix in the dry ingredients until fully combined, then stir in the caramels and walnuts if using. Drop by spoonfuls onto the parchment-lined baking sheets.
