    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I have to use salted caramel sauce?

    No, you don't have to use salted caramel sauce, but I highly recommend it! The salty-sweet combination is what makes these cookies so delicious. If you can't find salted caramel sauce, you can make your own by melting caramel candies with a little bit of cream and salt.

    How do I store my cookies?

    Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to store them for longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.

    Can I make the cookies gluten free?

    yes, just substitute a gluten free all purpose flour.

    Tips

    • Use room temperature ingredients for the best results.
    • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cookies tough.
    • Bake the cookies for the exact amount of time specified in the recipe. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
    • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before storing them in an airtight container.

    Instructions
