Caramel Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are a decadent combination of chewy caramel and soft chocolate cookies rolled in sweet powdered sugar. Fantastic twist on classic crinkle cookies that everyone loves!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter and white and brown sugars with a hand held mixer. On medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy. This should take about 4 minutes.
Proceed to add in the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition until combined.
Next, add in the vanilla extract and mix again.
Continue to add in the dry ingredients, the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Mix until well combined.
Proceed to scoop the dough out into 2 tablespoon sized balls, one at a time, and roll into a ball. Make sure that your hands are floured as it will help to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
Then, press a caramel candy into the center of the dough ball and then add in a pinch of coarse salt with the candy center. Enclose the caramel into the dough by pinching the dough sealed around the caramel.
Shape the dough into a ball again and roll them in the powder sugar, coat the entire outside of the cookie dough ball. Then align them on the prepared parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes.
