So these cookies don’t actually look like much, but they do *taste* delicious. The other day, I found this Salted Caramel Crunch stuff at Michael’s Craft Store. Basically, it is hard caramel candy crushed up. I threw some onto and on top of my regular chocolate brownie cookies and the caramel crunch melted, and then hardened up again to make these cookies that are almost like candy. Quite sweet, very unique. You might need some milk with these!
Ingredients
12 ounces (1 package) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter
3 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
12 oz (1 package) Salted Caramel Crunch
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Line cookie sheets with silpat or parchment paper.
In a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or a double boiler), melt together chocolate and butter, mix until smooth. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate. Mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the caramel crunch, reserving some to sprinkle on top. Drop tablespoons of dough evenly placed about 1 1/2 inches apart onto the lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with some of the remaining caramel crunch. Bake, until cookies are crackly, about 12 minutes. The cookies should still be soft. Do not over bake.
Cool on sheets until about mostly cool then carefully transfer the cookies to racks to cool completely.
