Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookies

The recipe is still a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but this sugar level seems to please most of my testers. It makes 2 dozen cookies.

Ingredients
  • 110 g unsalted butter
  • 70 g molasses
  • 120 g white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 55 g cocoa powder
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • 260 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 100 g dark chocolate chips (If you want a little more texture, you can substitute the dark chocolate chips with cocoa nibs)
  • 12 soft caramel candies, halved
  • Coarse ground Himalayan pink salt for garnish
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Melt butter over med-high heat. Let cool 1-2 minutes.
  3. Mix in molasses, sugar and eggs (1 at a time).
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, baking powder, flour and salt.
  5. Add flour mixture to butter mixture one cup at a time. Mix well each time before adding more flour mixture.
  6. Mix in chocolate chips.
  7. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough around ½ caramel candy.
  8. Garnish each ball with a few grains of Himalayan pink salt.
  9. Place balls on parchment paper lined baking sheet, ~1 inch apart. The cookies do not spread much.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes on the middle rack of the oven. Cool on wire rack.
