Ingredients
  

  • 11 ounces Kraft Caramels, 1 bag (about 36 caramels in the bag), divided
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, (2 sticks), softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tablespoon sea salt, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
  • Count out 25 caramels for the drizzle to go on top of cookies, set aside.
  • Remove plastic wrap from remaining caramels and cut up into small pieces, set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and sugar. Cream together until smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  • Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients and mix until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and the caramels cut into small pieces.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet (or a baking sheet with silicone mat on it).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes (be careful not to overbake them).
  • Remove from oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cookies cool, take the 25 caramels that you set aside and combine with heavy cream in a small saucepan.
  • Cook saucepan on stovetop over medium heat, stirring constantly, until caramels start to melt and are smooth (takes 5-10 minutes).
  • Drizzle cooled cookies with melted caramel and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before the caramel sets.
