Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the salted butter and chopped milk or semi-sweet chocolate together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and instant coffee granules (if using). Add the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and flatten each scoop slightly in your palm. Place one chocolate-covered caramel in the center, then wrap the dough around it, forming a ball. Repeat until all dough and caramels are used.
- Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges appear set and the tops are crinkly. Do not overbake!
- Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie for that perfect contrast of sweet and salty.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these Crinkly Caramel Stuffed Brownie Cookies warm for the best gooey experience!
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for richer flavor.
- Room temperature eggs create a smoother batter.
- Experiment with different chocolate-covered caramels for variety.
