Caramel Chocolate Cookies

After discovering caramel essence while hunting for vanilla essence in the supermarket, I knew it would be an ideal ingredient to add extra flavour to something sweet for minimal calories. Having purchased it, I came home and started experimenting and this was the result: a lovely little cookie, perfect for dunking into a nice cup of tea!
