Chocolate Caramel Stuffed Cookies
Chocolate Caramel Stuffed Cookies are rich and chocolatey, with a deep cocoa flavor. Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, these cookies offer the best of both worlds. The star of these cookies is the caramel center. It's a sweet and sticky caramel filling that oozes out when you take a bite.

- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (or a non-stick mat).
- In a stand mixer, beat butter and sugars until creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, cocoa powder and baking soda to butter mixture and stir until well combined.
- Roll 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into a ball. Using your thumb, press into the center and place the caramel candy in the hole. Then re-roll the ball to cover the caramel.
- Roll dough in sugar and place on prepared baking sheet, leaving room for spreading. Repeat until all dough has been used up.
- Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before serving. These cookies are best served warm so the caramel is gooey. To reheat cookies, pop them in microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
