Hydrogen and oxygen.
Sodium and chlorine.
Chocolate and caramel.
Some of the greatest couples in history are up there; you may recognize water and salt.
In case you didn’t recognize chocolate and caramel, this recipe is a little refresher in science and love.
But perhaps humans see great love differently. Fred and Wilma, Popeye and Olive, Leslie and Ben. But I think most humans would agree to add chocolate and caramel to that list.
If you don’t… you must be one boring robot.
Chocolate Caramel Cookies
adapted from Two Peas & Their Pod via Big Apple Nosh
makes 12 cookies
1-1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
5 tbsp brown butter
7 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 wrapped caramel squares, halved and rolled into small balls
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, lightly coated with cooking spray. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt.
2. Brown butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and mix in cocoa powder and sugars. Stir in yogurt and vanilla. Add flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Wrap the chocolate dough around the caramel balls.
3. Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until almost set. Let cool on pans until firm, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Bake, Robot! 
These look so yummy! I want to make these. What is brown butter though? 😛
Brown butter is basically just that. Melt your butter in a medium-size saucepan until little brown flecks pop up. It takes a little longer, but it’s so worth it. I use it for every recipe that I can.
