Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
All-Purpose Flour: The base of the cookies; sift it well for light and fluffy results.
Granulated Sugar: Provides sweetness; adjust based on your preference for sweetness.
Brown Sugar: For moisture and additional depth of flavor; light brown works best.
Butter: Use unsalted butter at room temperature; this ensures easy mixing.
Eggs: Eggs bind the ingredients together; use large eggs for consistent results.
Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise; always check for freshness before using.
Salt: Enhances flavors; don’t skip this step!
Cocoa Powder: Adds that rich chocolate taste; opt for unsweetened cocoa powder.
Chocolate Chips: Choose semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips according to your taste preference.
Caramel Sauce: Drizzle generously on top after baking for that Twix-like finish.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients Together: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This will ensure even distribution of flavors.
Cream Butter and Sugars : In a large bowl, beat the butter with granulated and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes—don’t rush it!
Add Eggs and Vanilla : Mix in the eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract until everything is smooth and homogenous—feel free to lick the spoon later!
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients : Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined. Don’t over-mix; we want soft cookies here!
Fold in Chocolate Chips : Gently stir in chocolate chips so they’re evenly dispersed throughout the dough. Feel free to sneak a few chips as you mix—no judgment here!
Scoop and Bake : Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto your prepared sheets, spacing them out evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are slightly golden.
Once out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly before drizzling with caramel sauce. Enjoy those warm cookies right away or let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container!
