Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® All Natural Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Organic Ground Saigon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Sicilian Sea Salt, divided
- 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel topping
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Place cream and butter in small saucepan. Cook on medium heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat. Add chopped chocolate and vanilla; stir until chocolate is completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 2 Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of the sea salt in large bowl until well blended. Add chocolate mixture and sugars; mix well. Refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes or until dough is chilled.
- 3 Preheat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- 4 Bake 8 minutes or until cookies are set. Immediately make an indentation in the center of each cookie with a round 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon. Remove cookies to wire racks; cool completely.
- 5 Stir remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt into caramel topping. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon caramel topping into indentation in each cookie. Transfer cookies to parchment paper-lined tray. Spoon melted chocolate on top of each cookie to cover caramel. Sprinkle top with additional sea salt, if desired. Let stand until chocolate is set.
