Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the caramel layer:
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for a creamier caramel layer)
For the chocolate drizzle:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press each dough ball down with your fingers to flatten them slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If using store-bought caramel sauce, warm it slightly to make it easier to spread. Mix in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream if you want a creamier texture.
- Once the cookies are cooled, spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of caramel sauce onto the center of each cookie. Spread it evenly with the back of the spoon.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer on each cookie using a spoon or a piping bag.
- Let the chocolate harden before serving, refrigerating for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
- Once the chocolate has set, the cookies are ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- For added crunch, sprinkle crushed nuts like almonds or pecans on top of the caramel before drizzling with chocolate.
- Try using milk chocolate or white chocolate chips for a different flavor twist in the drizzle.
- For a sweet-salty flavor, add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the caramel layer before drizzling with chocolate.
