Lastly, add in the all purpose flour. Mix until well combined.
Allow to cool for 8-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
While the cookies are cooling, use the remaining 1/4 cup of milk chocolate chips to add a few extra chocolate chips to the tops of each cookie.
Note: *You can add the soft caramels while the cookies are cooling, if you prefer. Adding them in the last minute or two of baking will make the caramels spread and melt a bit more. If you add while the cookies cool, they will melt but they will not spread as much over the cookies. The cookies turn out great both ways!
