Ingredients
1 cup softened unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chocolate frosting
12 soft caramel candies
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 tablespoons Skor bits
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated white sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Stir in the cocoa powder, salt, and flour until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set but still soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, spread a layer of chocolate frosting over each cookie.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream, heating in 20-second intervals until smooth.
Drizzle the melted caramel over the frosted cookies and immediately sprinkle with Skor bits.
Notes
Ensure the butter is soft but not melted to achieve the best texture. If the caramel thickens too quickly, reheat for a few seconds. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
