Soft fudgy chocolate cookies with chewy edges drizzled with salted caramel. These salted caramel chocolate cookies are so delicious and perfect for chocolate lovers.
We have just a little more than a week left until Christmas. It definitely doesn’t feel like Christmas this year. But I am still excited for all the holiday treats. I’ve been baking cookies and making holiday treats. My sisters and I have been busy wrapping presents for each other. And for everyone else even if we might not see them for awhile.
We’re setting ourselves up for a Christmas day at home: opening presents, watching Hallmark Christmas movies, sipping hot chocolates. Oh, and watching Bridgerton on Netflix since it’s released on Christmas Day. I’ve been waiting forever for it to come out! Soo excited for extra days off and a cozy day in.
And how can we forget about the holiday baking? We’re going to need a batch of cookies to share with the family while sipping hot chocolate. And of course, a plate of cookies for Santa.
If you’re looking for another cookie to try, you’ll want to bookmark these salted caramel chocolate cookies. I love that these cookies are fudgy with chewy edges. It combines two different chocolates: cocoa powder and melted semi sweet chocolate. It’s rich, it’s decadent, and it’s seriously the kind of the cookie you’ll want to make if you’re a big fan of chocolate. Then to top it off, because tis the season and we might as well go all out, drizzle salted caramel all over the cookies. I promise you, you won’t regret it.
I made my own small batch of salted caramel, but you can definitely use store bought one. Salted caramel lasts forever in the fridge, which I love. It means I can have multiuse for it and don’t have to worry about rushing to use it all up.
But seriously, you need to make these salted caramel chocolate cookies. They’re simple, delicious, and perfect for those who love salted caramel and chocolate.
