Makes: 10-12 cookies
Ingredients
• Softened Butter, ½ cup or 100 grams approx
• Dark Brown Sugar, ½ cup or 110 grams approx.
• Powdered White Sugar, ½ cup
• Egg, 1 at room temperature
• Vanilla Essence, 1 teaspoon
• Chocolate Chips, ½ cup
• Flour, 1 cup or 128 grams
• Baking powder, 1 teaspoon
• Cocoa Powder, ⅔ cup or 60 grams approx.
• Salt, ¼ teaspoon
• Milk, 3 tablespoons
• Soft Caramel Candy, 10-20 (I used Werther's Original available at Nature's Basket)
• Sea Salt, to sprinkle on top
Method
Whisk the butter until light and fluffy in a bowl. When the butter is pale yellow, add in the sugar and whisk again until completely incorporated. This will take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Whisk egg in a separate bowl and add it in along with the vanilla essence to the butter sugar mix. Whisk for a few seconds until everything is properly combined.
Sieve in the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon, ditch the whisk.
Add in the milk to form a smooth dough, the cookie dough will be slightly sticky. Wrap the cookie dough in cling film or plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour so that it becomes easy to handle.
Preheat your oven at 180 degree Celsius, while you stuff the cookies with caramel candy cookie. Take about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough in your hand and make a ball, then make a cavity in it. Stuff a soft caramel candy (you might have to squeeze the candy to make it fit since it's long) in the cavity and cover with about ½ tablespoon of cookie dough.
Form a ball, flatten it slightly and decorate it with a few chocolate chips on top. Simply place chocolate chips on top of the cookie and lightly press. Do not over crowd the baking tray these cookies will spread a little.
Bake the cookies at 180 degree Celsius for 9-10 minutes. The cookies will be soft when you take them out, allow them to cool on the baking tray for 15 minutes before transferring them on a wire rack.
