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
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• 1/4 cup additional chocolate chips for drizzling

How to Make Chocolate Caramel Sandwich 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 bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar 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, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for a chewy texture.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, spread a generous teaspoon of caramel sauce on the bottom of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
11. Melt the additional chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Drizzle over the assembled cookies for a decorative finish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
• For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before assembling to prevent the caramel from melting too much.
• If you like a thicker caramel layer, you can chill the caramel sauce slightly before spreading.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste.
• Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the caramel before sandwiching for a sweet-salty contrast.
• Experiment with flavored chocolate chips, such as mint or peanut butter, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• A glass of cold milk for a classic pairing
• Coffee or espresso for a delightful afternoon treat
• Vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience
