Valentine's Special: Caramel Dark Chocolate Cookies
Prep: 5-10 minutes Bake 10-15 minutes
Cookies are so versatile and this is a fun way to make some. Unlike my dipped cookies, these use caramel candies and dark chocolate chips to create a caramel dark chocolate cookie. Sticky, sweet and amazing.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed down tight to get the right amount)
1/2 cup softened butter
1 egg
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 bag of dark chocolate chips
As wanted of caramel chews, cut down to manageable sizes
Prep
Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C)
Add the butter, brown sugar and sugar into a bowl and mix together until creamy
Add the egg and mix well
Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda in and mix until starting to hold it’s shape
Add the chips and caramels and mix
Chill for 20 minutes in fridge if you’d like to. I’m lazy and rarely do
Prep a tray and ball cookie dough to add to tray
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges start to brown
Allow to cool
Afterthoughts
These were super tasty. The cookie dough has a richer taste with the brown sugar, and it pairs well with the caramel. The chews were super sticky and fun to eat. They did not melt in the oven as I feared. This is a great way to surprise yourself or loved ones for a bit more extra cookie.
