Scale
- 1/2 cup softened butter (113 grams)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100 grams)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (65 grams)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour (120 grams)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (35 grams)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce (60 mL)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt together in a small bowl until the flour and cocoa powder cannot be separated.
- Cream the butter and sugars together for two minutes with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix until no streaks of egg remain.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until no dry flour spots remain.
- Scoop dough into scant 1/4 cup balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Roll each ball into extra granulated sugar.
- Indent a deep well into the center of each cookie. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours in the fridge or overnight.
- After chilling, bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes in an oven preheated to 350ºF. The tops will still be soft but they will harden as they cool. Reindent the cookies as necessary.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before spooning heaping teaspoons of caramel sauce into the center of each cookie. Bake for 1 minute and 30 seconds at the top rack of the oven. Let cookies cool for 30 minutes and enjoy!
