: Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
12 pieces of soft caramel candies

: Instructions

Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2 – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3 – In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until it turns light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until just combined.

Step 4 – Gradually add in the dry ingredients until they form a dough-like mixture.

Step 5 – Stir in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate. Mix well.

Step 6 – Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Take one ball and flatten it. Then place a soft caramel candy in the center and wrap the dough around the caramel, making sure it’s fully covered.

Step 7 – Repeat the process with the remaining dough and place the cookie balls on the prepared baking tray, spaced about an inch apart.

Step 8 – Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn crispy. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 9 – Serve warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk or your favourite hot beverage.

: Tips

If you don’t have parchment paper, lightly grease the baking tray with some butter or cooking spray.
Do not overbake the cookies. They tend to harden if left in the oven for too long.
To store the cookies, place them in an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze the cookie dough balls for up to a month. Just thaw them in the refrigerator before baking.
