• Decadent chocolate flavor that satisfies your cravings.

• Perfect for sharing or enjoying alone with a cup of coffee.
• Drizzled caramel adds a beautiful finish and extra sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

How to Make Chocolate Caramel Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the caramel sauce, creating a marbled effect without fully blending it in.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the cooled cookies before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with sugars.
• Do not overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients; this keeps the cookies tender.
• For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before drizzling with caramel to prevent it from melting into the cookies.

Easy Variations

• Add chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for extra crunch.
• Incorporate chocolate chips for an even more chocolatey experience.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, such as almond or hazelnut, for a unique twist.
• Substitute half of the flour with almond flour for a gluten-free option.

What to Serve With It

• A glass of cold milk for a classic pairing.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert sundae.
• Fresh berries to balance the richness of the cookies.
• A hot cup of coffee or espresso for a cozy treat.
