I found this recipe over on www.somethingswanky.com, and I love it! I made a few changes, and we definitely have a keeper here. One quick note, the cookie dough is quite soft. Soft enough that you will want to add more flour. Don't do it. (In the form of trial and error, I tried and I erred). These cookies are chocolatey and oaty with bursts of caramel and chocolate chunks. I am loving the chocolate chunks lately.
Double Chocolate Caramel Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup chocolate chunks
3/4 cup caramel bits
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter, shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat until combined. Beat in the oats, then stir in the chocolate chunks and caramel bits.
Drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons). Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are just set in the middle. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for several minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
