Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Cookies Recipes

SALTED CARAMEL DARK CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in the vanilla and eggs until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add to the butter mixture, one cup at a time, until just combined. Stir in the dark chocolate chips and caramel bits. Fold in 1/2 cup caramel topping until evenly swirled throughout the dough.
• Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of dough a few inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Lightly sprinkle each scoop with some sea salt.
• Bake until tops are just starting to crack, but still soft in the middle, about 16 minutes. Rotate cookie sheets halfway through baking time.
• Drizzle remaining caramel sauce evenly over hot cookies and sprinkle with a little more sea salt. Let cool completely on cookie sheets.

SALTED CARAMEL DARK CHOCOLATE COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Using a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed for about 20 seconds. Add the sugars with the mixer running on medium speed.
• Cream it all together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• In a separate medium-size bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together.
• Slowly add to the wet ingredients. Stir in the milk, then fold in the dark chocolate morsels. The dough will be thick and very sticky. Chill for at least 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• Take 2 Tablespoons of chilled dough and split in half and roll each into a ball with your hands. Stick a caramel into 1 ball of dough.
• Top the caramel with the other ball of dough and seal down the sides so that the caramel is securely stuffed inside. Repeat with the rest of the dough and 18 caramel candies. Sprinkle each with sea salt before putting into the oven.
• Bake for 12 to 13 minutes. Cookies will appear undone and very soft.
• Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
