Salty Sweet Deliciousness!

I have so many cookies and cupcakes I want to make! This week I decided to make Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies and boy were they delicious! Like all the cookies I make, I must limit myself to just a couple and give the rest away. These ones were hard to give away! So gooey and chocolate-ty and salty sweet, you will definitely need a glass of milk or cup of coffee to accompany these little heavenly treats. I made it with cheap caramels, so I can only imagine how good these would be with good caramels.

Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies
Yields: 2 dozen

Ingredients:
* 1 1/4 cup flour
* 1/4 tsp baking soda
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 5 tbsp butter (I used unsalted)
* 7 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
* 2/3 granulated sugar
* 1/3 packed brown sugar
* 1/3 cup plain yogurt
* 2 tsp vanilla extract
* Soft caramel rolled into little balls
* Sea salt

Directions:
~ Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
~ Melt butter and add to mixing bowl. Stir in cocoa powder and sugars. (Should look like coarse, dark sand.) Add yogurt and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in flour mixture slowly. Mix until moist.
~ Lightly spray cookie sheets with nonstick spray. Take dough and wrap around the balls of caramel. Ball with your hand and place on sheets. Sprinkle with sea salt. (I put the salt in my hand and individually sprinkled each one.)
~ Bake 10 minutes or until almost set. Let cool for 2-3 minutes and them remove to a wire rack.
