-  * Take cookies out of oven and allow to cool for 10 min. Pour a generous amount of caramel sauce over the bars (not the whole bottle; I just do it until it looks right) and then sprinkle the chocolate chips over the caramel. Crumble the rest of the cookie topping over top of the chocolate chips and caramel. Bake for 20 minutes more, until edges are golden brown and slightly crispy. Cookies will be wobbly when you take them out because of the center of **molten caramel** -- they are baked, do not be fooled. +  * Take cookies out of oven and allow to cool for 10 min.

   * Wait until cookies have cooled COMPLETELY before cutting or you will have an unholy mess on your hands. Also they will be too hot to eat so just don't do it (no matter how much you want to!)   * Wait until cookies have cooled COMPLETELY before cutting or you will have an unholy mess on your hands.

 ===== Notes ===== ===== Notes =====
  
-  * If you didn't want or need to make this vegan, you can use a pre-made non-vegan caramel sauce, or make your own homemade caramel sauce with sweetened condensed milk (instead of the sweetened condensed coconut milk).  +  * I have also made these as a vegan gluten-free cookie; that version can be found here: [[https://karinhowe.com/recipes/vegan_carmelitas|Gluten Free Vegan Carmelitas]]
-  * I've made these as a sugar-free cookie also (not vegan). Substitutions: +
-    * Use a sugar-free caramel sauce (I use [[https://www.walmart.com/ip/Smucker-s-Sundae-Syrup-Sugar-Free-Caramel-Flavored-Syrup-19-25-Ounces/20894370|Smuckers]]) instead of the homemade caramel sauce. How much? I'm not sure, I just pour it on until it looks right. +
-    * Use sugar-free chocolate chips (I use [[https://www.target.com/p/lily-s-dark-chocolate-baking-chips-9oz/-/A-54518945|Lily's]]) +
-    * Use a brown sugar substitute instead of the brown sugar (I use [[https://www.walmart.com/ip/Swerve-Brown-Sugar-Alternative-12-oz/250768818|brown Swerve]]), in the same amounts as in the recipe. (Most sugar-free recipes need the sugar increased by about a half, but not this one, probably because of the sweetness from the caramel sauce) +
-    * I use white whole wheat flour instead of regular white flour because I don't eat white flour. Regular whole wheat would work fine as well, or I would also try oat flour.+
