Ingredients

½ cup - cold butter
¾ cup - granulated sugar
1 - egg
1 tsp - vanilla
1 ¼ cups - gluten free flour
¼ cup - cocoa powder
½ tsp - baking soda
½ cup - chocolate chips
pinch - sea salt
10 - caramels

Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Make the cookie dough. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cold butter cubes and sugar. Beat for 2 minutes or until completely creamed together.
Then, add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
Add in the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Unwrap the caramels.
Use a spoon to scoop 1 inch balls of dough onto the lined baking pan. Flatten each ball.
Place a caramel on top of this flattened ball of dough.
Then, cover it with more chocolate cookie dough. Use your fingers to fully enclose the caramel with cookie dough.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the middle of the cookies is just barely set.
Finally, remove the Milky Way cookies from the oven. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Then, sprinkle with sea salt on top!
