I am a complete chocoholic, as you well know.
If given the opportunity to choose a cookie to inhale, it will always be a chocolate chip cookie. However, these come in mighty close in the race of the cookie.
They are exceptionally chewy because of the oats and caramel bits. Mmmm!
And bonus! They’re made with whole wheat flour! Waahoo! 
P.S. A little baby shout out to Laurie from The Corner Slice and her husband on their first baby!

Ooh yum bear! Those look delish! And John loves caramel so I’ll have to bookmark this one.
short story: I had a dream last night and you were in it! You were wearing purple from head to toe and we met in a coffee shop. You looked adorable, that’s mostly all I remember. Oh, and that you had a big beautiful smile! Just gawg-eous.
Is it weird that I have dreams with blog friends in it? Hope not, cause I’m feeling pretty vulnerable right now…
These would definitely come close in a race against chocolate chip, they look great! Do the caramels soften a bit when you bake them?
These look faaabulous, and like I could whip them up pretty quickly when the desire strikes! (Not that that ever happens to me…umm…) I do love cookies with brown sugar and oats–the sweetness and texture is so great!
holy moly, these look great! i’ll definitely be making ‘em soon. thanks for sharing!
I am a chocoholic too, but I have to try this yummy recipe!
Yummm!! I love caramel … almost as much as I love chocolate! These look great and fairly easy. Thanks for the recipe!!
Mmmm, I love caramel and oats together. These sound great.
The looks of it is telling me that caramel had made it gooey which is my foremost expectation on these caramel cookies.
The caramels in the pix look smallish. May I ask where you found them? Thanks!
I got them at Target around Thanksgiving. Here’s the link to them if you want to buy them on amazon. Happy Baking!
