Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup crushed nuts or granola for topping

How to Make Chocolate Caramel Layered Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
8. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
9. Once the cookies are completely cooled, layer them by placing one cookie on a serving plate, spreading a layer of whipped cream over it, then drizzling with caramel sauce. Repeat with additional cookies, stacking them as desired.
10. Top with any remaining whipped cream, drizzle with more caramel sauce, and sprinkle with crushed nuts or granola for added crunch.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Don’t overmix the cookie dough; stop as soon as the flour is incorporated.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
• Feel free to adjust the thickness of the whipped cream layer according to your preference.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the crushed nuts with crushed cookies or chocolate chips for a different crunch.
• Add a layer of fruit preserves between the cookie and whipped cream layers for a fruity twist.
• Use flavored whipped cream, like chocolate or coffee, to add an extra layer of flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla or coffee ice cream on the side.
• Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
• A cup of rich coffee or hot chocolate to complement the dessert.
