Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Can substitute with coconut oil or plant-based butter.
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and caramel bits.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft.
  2. Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie immediately after removing from the oven.
  3. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months. To reheat, microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in a low oven.
