Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Gluten-free flour can be used.)
- 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (Opt for high-quality for best results.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Ensure freshness for optimal rise.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Omit if using salted butter.)
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (Ensure it’s at room temperature.)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Avoid brown sugar for crunchier cookies.)
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar (Dark brown sugar can deepen flavor.)
- 2 large Eggs (Room temperature is best for mixing.)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (Try vanilla bean for a richer taste.)
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips (Dark chocolate offers a richer profile.)
- 3/4 cup Caramel Flavored Chips (Homemade caramel can be used.)
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Flakes (Regular salt can work, but won’t have the same effect.)
- 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce or Dulce de Leche (Drizzle for extra sweetness.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
