Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Caramel Chocolate Cookies.
Step 1
To start your delicious cookie adventure, grab a mixing bowl and beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until it’s beautifully creamy.
Step 2
Next, gradually sprinkle in 1 cup of white sugar along with the brown sugar, mixing until everything is well blended and smooth.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to add in the eggs and a splash of vanilla extract, beating until the mixture is silky and combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
Step 5
Slowly incorporate this dry mixture into your buttery blend, mixing thoroughly until everything is perfectly combined.
Step 6
Stir in half a cup of chopped walnuts for that delightful crunch.
Step 7
Once your dough is ready, cover it and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours—this step is key for achieving the perfect texture.
Step 8
While your dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease two baking sheets to prepare for the magic to come.
Step 9
In a small bowl, combine the remaining half cup of walnuts with a tablespoon of sugar, creating a sweet topping for your cookies.
Step 10
When the dough is ready, divide it into four equal parts, keeping the rest in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Step 11
Take one part and break it into 12 pieces.
Step 12
Now comes the fun part: take each piece of dough and gently wrap it around a chocolate-covered caramel candy, rolling it into a delightful ball.
Step 13
Dip the tops of these little treasures into the walnut-sugar mixture, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave about two inches of space between each one, with the nutty side facing up.
Step 14
Pop the trays into your preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 15
Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 3 to 4 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 16
Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite of these scrumptious cookies!.
