Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 24 chocolate kisses
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cookie removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar mixture until well incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form the cookie dough.
- Shape Dough and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Add Chocolate Kisses: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie, gently pushing it down so it slightly melts into the warm cookie.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets, so the chocolate sets properly.
- Drizzle Caramel Sauce: Once cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce over the cookies for a sweet, luscious finish. Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Caramel Blossoms!
Notes
- You can substitute the caramel sauce with dulce de leche or even salted caramel for an enhanced flavor.
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming with sugars.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel drizzle.
