These delicious caramel thumbprint cookies use a fudgy chocolate cookie base with a dollop of homemade caramel sauce in the center of each cookie! Here Is How To Make Them!

Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together, then set aside.

1

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.

2

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold them in.

3

Divide the dough into 30 cookie dough balls. On a lined tray place the balls and then use a 1/2 teaspoon to press down in the center of the cookies.

4

In a medium saucepan over low to medium heat, add the sugar.

5

Stir it gently with a wooden spoon while it melts.

Add the cubes of butter, two cubes at a time. Start whisking immediately while you do this, and don’t stop until all the butter has melted.

7

Once the butter melts into the sugar, pour the heavy cream and keep whisking. Whisk until it forms a smooth sauce.

Bake the cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes at 350°F/180°C. After cooling fill the cooled cookies with caramel sauce.

Place the filled cookies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up the caramel sauce. Top with sea salt flakes.
