- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

- 1 large egg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Scoop about one tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, place one soft caramel candy in the center, then roll the dough around it to form a ball.
