Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about three minutes).
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time and then add the vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and half of the salted caramel sauce.
- Scoop & Bake: Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake for about ten minutes until edges are firm but centers remain soft.
