Ingredients

11 ounces Kraft Caramels (1 bag (about 36 caramels in the bag), divided)
1 cup unsalted butter ((2 sticks), softened)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
sea salt (for topping (about 1 Tablespoon))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Count out 25 caramels for the drizzle to go on top of cookies, set aside.
Remove plastic wrap from remaining caramels and cut up into small pieces, set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and sugar. Cream together until smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients and mix until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and the caramels cut into small pieces.

Bake for 8-10 minutes (be careful not to overbake them).
Remove from oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While cookies cool, take the 25 caramels that you set aside and combine with heavy cream in a small saucepan.

Tips:

To make the perfect salted caramel, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook the sugar mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel forms a soft ball, it is ready. If it forms a hard ball, it is overcooked.
To make the chocolate sandwich cookies, make sure the dough is well chilled before rolling it out. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
When baking the cookies, keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook. The cookies should be baked until they are just set, but still have a slightly soft center.
Once the cookies are baked, let them cool completely before assembling the sandwiches. This will help prevent the caramel from melting.

Conclusion:

These salted caramel chocolate sandwich cookies are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and chocolatey. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
