Hey guys!  I’m so excited to let you know I had my baby girl! She was born last week on March 3rd and I am so in love! You can keep up with adorable pictures of her and more if you want to follow me on Instagram. For the next few weeks some of my lovely blogger friends will be helping me adjust to life with 3 kids and enjoy my new baby girl by guest posting. Today Britney from The Princess and Her Cowboys is sharing this delicious cookie recipe with you all!

Hi all! I’m excited to be here today and share this delicious recipe – Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies! I took my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and added some fun pieces of caramel. I don’t know about you but I hate counting out the number of caramels when I buy them for a recipe so I usually end up having some left over. I figured this would be the perfect way to use them and they were delicious!

A little tidbit I’ve picked up in the last couple of years is that if you have some leftover and you want to put them in the cookie jar, put a piece of bread in with it. The bread will absorb the moisture and your cookies will be as soft as the day you baked them!
