– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup caramel chips
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth and well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
