- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

How to Make Decadent Layered Cookie Stack
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop large spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, take one cookie and spread a layer of caramel sauce on top, then stack another cookie on top. Repeat this process until you have a tall stack of cookies, drizzling additional caramel and chocolate sauce over the top of the stack.
- Allow the stack to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugars.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep the cookies tender.
- For a thicker stack, use a little more dough per cookie.
- Let the cookies cool completely before stacking to prevent them from breaking.
Easy Variations
- Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate or white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Add nuts such as pecans or walnuts into the cookie dough for added crunch.
- Use flavored caramel sauce, like sea salt caramel, for an extra layer of flavor.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
- Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
- A drizzle of espresso or coffee for a delightful pairing.
- Milk or a milk alternative for dipping.
