Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 14 minutes
Total Time 34 minutes
Servings: 12 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 100 g dark chocolate cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce slightly chilled
  • 1/2 cup crushed pretzels

Method
 

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Cream butter and sugar together until smooth, then mix in eggs until combined.
      In a separate bowl, mix flour and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
        Scoop dough, flatten, and add caramel, chocolate, and crushed pretzels in the center.
          Cover with more dough and seal edges completely.
            Chill cookies for 15 minutes, then bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are set.
              Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

                Notes

                Chill caramel slightly before using to make it easier to handle. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat briefly for a gooey center.
