Making Salted Caramel Cookies

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients on hand. This recipe calls for all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, butter, dark brown sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, semi-sweet chocolate chips and salted caramel sauce. Once you have everything lined up in your kitchen it’s time to get started!

Preheat Oven and Line Baking Tray

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. This will make the cookies easy to remove when they’ve finished baking by preventing sticking. Once the oven is preheated, you’re ready to mix all the ingredients together.

Mix Dry Ingredients Together in a Bowl

Start with sifting together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Use a whisk to combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until everything is evenly distributed throughout. This helps prevent lumping or clumping of ingredients in your cookies!

Add Wet Ingredients and Combine Well

Next, add the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix them together until combined. Then add in the salted caramel sauce. Finally, stir in your dark chopped chocolate until everything is mixed together thoroughly. Your double chocolate salted caramel cookie dough is now ready to be baked!

When Your Cookies are Done Baking

Finally, it’s time to bake your delicious double chocolate salted caramel cookies! When they are done baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Drizzle with caramel sauce glaze made by mixing 2 cups powdered sugar, ½ cup salted caramel sauce (homemade or store bought) and 2 tablespoons milk together.
