Decadent Caramel-Stuffed Chocolate Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
2. In a bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt pinch. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream unsalted butter softened with granulated sugar and brown sugar packed until light and fluffy using a mixer or whisk.
4. Add large egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until fully combined.
5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to form cookie dough.
6. Take a small amount of dough and flatten it in your palm.
7. Place one soft caramel candy piece in the center of the flattened dough.
8. Fold the dough around the caramel candy, sealing it completely to form a ball.
9. Place the dough ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Repeat the process for remaining dough and caramel candies.
11. Press dark chocolate chips gently on top of each cookie dough ball for extra chocolate flavor.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until cookies are set but still soft in the center.
13. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
