Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Caramel Flavored Chips
- Sea Salt flakes for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time and pour in the vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the dough is smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips and caramel flavored chips, evenly distributing them throughout the dough.
- Scoop Dough: Drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Sprinkle Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle the tops of each cookie dough mound with sea salt flakes to enhance the flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look soft and slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter and eggs.
- Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to maintain a soft texture.
- Adjust baking time slightly for softer or crispier cookies according to your preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Sea salt flakes are essential to balance the sweetness; do not skip this step.
