This fudgy chocolate cookie is made even more irresistible with the deep caramel flavour of Werther's Original® Chewy Caramels.

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
15 Werther’s Original® Chewy Caramels, roughly chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

PREHEAT oven to 350F (180C). In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter with granulated and brown sugar for 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
CUT each caramel into five pieces.
IN a small bowl, using a fork, stir flour with cocoa, baking soda and salt. Beat into butter mixture just until combined. Add caramel pieces and nuts to dough, stir until combined.
SCOOP tablespoons of dough (15 mL) and place on a lined baking sheet, about 2 in. (5 cm) apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the centre of the oven until the edges are firm. (For soft, chewy centres, bake for less time.)
COOL for 2 minutes on baking sheets then move to wire racks to cool. Optional: sprinkle with flaky salt.
