Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the margarine or butter with the sugars and vanilla extract.

Once combined, add in the egg.

After the egg is mixed in, add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until the dough comes together.

Mix in the chocolate chips.

Divide the dough into 3 dozen balls using a cookie scoop.

Roll each small piece of caramel into a ball and tuck each piece into each ball of cookie dough.

Roll the cookie dough into a ball and make sure the caramel is completely covered.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly brown.

Cool on a wire rack.
