Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and mix well.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to create an indentation.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set.
-
While the cookies are baking, melt the caramel candies and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
-
Once the cookies are out of the oven, use a spoon or piping bag to fill each indentation with the melted caramel.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
-
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-filled cookies.
-
Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving.
