Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar (lightly packed)
- 2 Large Eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
Mix-Ins
- 1 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Caramel Flavored Chips
- Sea Salt Flakes (for sprinkling over top of cookies)
- Caramel Sauce or Dulce de Leche (optional, for drizzling over the top of cookies)
Instructions
Preparation
- Adjust your oven rack to the 2nd level mark and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Mixing the Dough
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Lower the mixer speed to low and gradually add the whisked dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and caramel chips.
Baking
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly sprinkle the tops with sea salt flakes.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375ºF. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce or dulce de leche, if desired.
Notes
Cookies are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven, but they are also delightful at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to a week with a slice of bread for freshness. For a different flavor, use peanut butter chips instead of caramel chips.
