Description
Rich, fudgy cookies with gooey caramel and melted chocolate, topped with a pinch of sea salt for a perfect sweet-salty flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel candies, chopped
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone mats.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth (about 2–3 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped caramel candies gently.
- Drop dough by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle each mound with a pinch of sea salt.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges look set and centers are slightly soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
For taller, chewier cookies, chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
