Step-by-Step Instructions for Double Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and caramel flavored chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  9. Cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Optional: drizzle caramel sauce over cooled cookies for an extra touch.
