Description

Soft, chewy, and thin chocolate cookies topped with an oooey gooey salted caramel filling.


Ingredients

Units 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

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars together for two minutes with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg  and mix until no streaks of egg remain.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until no dry flour spots remain.
  6. Scoop dough into scant 1/4 cup balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Roll each ball into extra granulated sugar.
  7. Indent a deep well into the center of each cookie. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours in the fridge or overnight.
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
