Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt (plus extra flakes for topping)

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cup Caramel Flavored Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined; set this aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined—be careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Chocolate and Caramel Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips along with the caramel-flavored chips to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
  7. Shape Cookies: Drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Add Sea Salt Topping: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over the tops of each cookie dough mound to enhance the flavor profile with a hint of saltiness.
  9. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until they are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
  10. Cool: After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures they firm up perfectly.

Notes

  • For extra gooey caramel pockets, consider adding soft caramel bits instead of caramel-flavored chips.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • Allow dough to chill for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading, if desired.
  • To make larger cookies, increase baking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • Using parchment paper helps in easy cookie removal and even baking.
