Ingredients 

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Caramel Filling

  • 20 pieces caramel candies unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
  4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Spoon the melted caramel into the indentations of the cooled cookies. Let set before serving.
