Currently Craving



Black Salt Caramel Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Messy goodness


I recently gave in to my cravings while in the grocery store checkout isle and purchased a Vosges Black Salt Caramel chocolate bar that I had been eying. I had almost wolfed the whole thing down before I had even paid and decided to grab another for a little experiment. I had been craving some extra special chocolate chip cookies and thought that adding this chocolate bar into the mix might be what I was looking for. And oh was it ever, the mix of dark chocolate, caramel and salt was too delicious to describe.

 

    Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 frozen Vosges Black Salt Caramel Chocolate Bar*
You can get these at Whole Foods or any gourmet grocery store. If you can’t find them substitute with your favorite chocolate bar.

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Remove chocolate bar from the freezer and set aside. Grease baking sheets.
3. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
4. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. 5. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
6. Chop chocolate into small chunks, warning this gets a bit messy but just embrace the mess. Stir in the chunks and place a tablespoon of dough onto your greased cookie sheet.

7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Mine were a little big and melted into one another but they were still absolutely scrumptious!
