The image shows thick, round cookies with a pale golden base layer that looks soft and crumbly. Each cookie is topped with a smooth, glossy layer of dark chocolate that has delicate drizzles on top, adding texture and shine. One cookie is broken in half, revealing a thick, gooey caramel layer inside with a slightly chewy texture. Scattered on the chocolate surface are small flakes of coarse salt, giving a contrast with bright white sparkle. The cookies are stacked closely on a white plate, all placed on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until well combined.
Step 3: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Step 4: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Step 5: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6: Once cooled, spread or drizzle a layer of caramel sauce evenly over each cookie.
Step 7: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour or drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel layer, covering well.
Step 8: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes for faster setting.

Tips & Variations

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to achieve thicker cookies.
Let the caramel cool slightly before spreading to create a chewier texture.
Try different chocolates such as dark or white chocolate, or sprinkle sea salt on top for extra flavor.
Double the recipe to make a larger batch for sharing or freezing.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months, separating layers with parchment paper. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave briefly for a fresh-baked experience.
