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 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

How to Make Chocolate Caramel Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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 the softened butter 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, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of caramel sauce.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They will firm up as they cool.
  9. Once out of the oven, 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 for an extra touch of decadence.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
  • Don’t overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone in the center.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for richer flavor.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before drizzling with caramel for a cleaner finish.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a nutty flavor.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the caramel drizzle for a salted caramel twist.
  • Mix in nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • A glass of cold milk for the ultimate classic pairing.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
  • Fresh berries to add a refreshing contrast to the richness of the cookies.

Storage and Reheating

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Place them in a freezer-safe container, and they can last for up to three months. To enjoy after freezing, simply thaw at room temperature for a few hours.
