Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Chocolate Caramel Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and caramel sauce until evenly distributed.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top of each cookie.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
- Don’t overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- For extra decadence, sprinkle sea salt on top of the caramel drizzle before it sets.
Easy Variations
- Swap the chocolate chips for white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
- Experiment with flavored caramel sauces, such as sea salt or chocolate caramel.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries for a refreshing contrast.
- A hot cup of coffee or espresso to balance the sweetness of the cookies.
