Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Caramel Flavored Chips
  • Sea Salt Flakes, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined. Set this bowl aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, usually about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and homogeneous.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Fold in Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips and caramel flavored chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  7. Shape Cookies: Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to space them approximately 2 inches apart to allow spread during baking.
  8. Add Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle sea salt flakes on top of each cookie dough mound to enhance flavor and balance sweetness.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and achieve the ideal chewy texture.

Notes

  • For a more intense caramel flavor, you can add a teaspoon of caramel extract to the wet ingredients.
  • Make sure not to overbake; the cookies will appear slightly underbaked in the center but will firm up as they cool.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading and get thicker cookies.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor.
