Salted Chocolate Caramel Cookies

Got this from www.foodnessgracious.com.  They are good, but the caramel oozed out, and made them stick to the paper towels that I was cooling them on.  I substituted dark chocolate cocoa powder, which made them even better.  I used Werther's caramel, instead of Kraft.  Not sure if that might make a difference either.

Prep time: 10 min.
Bake time 10-12 min.
Yield: 18 cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line baking sheet with silpat or parchment paper.

Chop into small pieces and set aside:
12 chewy caramels

Cream until light and fluffy:
1 Stick plus 2 tablespoons room temp butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

Add:
1 egg and mix until well combined

In a separate bowl, combine:
1 1/4 cups flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Add flour mixture to butter/egg mixture.   Add chopped caramels and
6 ounces of chocolate chips

Mix until combined.  Scoop into balls and place on baking tray.  Sprinkle with a little coarse sea or kosher salt.  Bake in oven for about 10 - 12 minutes.  Let cool on the tray for about 10 minutes, transfer to plate or paper towel to continue cooling.
