Ingredients
To make these salted caramel stuffed chocolate crinkle cookies, you’ll need:
- All-Purpose Flour – 1 ¾ cups
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – ½ cup
- Granulated Sugar – 1 cup
- Brown Sugar – ½ cup, packed
- Baking Powder – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
- Vegetable Oil – ½ cup
- Eggs – 2 large
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
- Soft Caramel Candies – 20 pieces (store-bought or homemade)
- Sea Salt – for sprinkling
- Powdered Sugar – ½ cup (for rolling)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Form the Dough
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
4. Prepare the Caramel Filling
Unwrap the soft caramel candies and sprinkle them lightly with sea salt. Set them aside.
5. Assemble the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a salted caramel candy in the centre, then wrap the dough around it to seal. Roll the dough into a ball.
6. Coat in Powdered Sugar
Roll each cookie ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
7. Bake the Cookies
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and crinkled on top. Avoid overbaking to keep the centres gooey.
8. Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for the best gooey caramel experience.
Tips for Success
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Use High-Quality Caramel: Soft, chewy caramels work best for a gooey center.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the cookies to ensure they stay soft and chewy.
