Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and cornstarch. Stir into the wet ingredients. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 3

Chill the dough for at least 3 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Step 4

Roll tablespoons of the dough around the caramel candies. Chill for at least 20 more minutes to firm them up.

Step 5

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until set. Do not over bake the cookies. They should like slightly doughy when they are taken out of the oven. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
