Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies - or more accurately, Caramel Stuffed Double Chocolate Chip Cookies - are a cookie that I crave every single time I see these photos.
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 and 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 18 soft caramel candies. I used Werther's Original Soft Caramels cut in half they were about a half inch in diameter
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and cornstarch. Stir into the wet ingredients. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough for at least 3 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Roll tablespoons of the dough around the caramel candies. Chill for at least 20 more minutes to firm them up.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until set. Do not over bake the cookies. They should like slightly doughy when they are taken out of the oven. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
