Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, caramel-filled chocolate chips (if using), and dried cranberries.

Roll dough into large 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly using your palm or a flat utensil.

Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.

Let cookies cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Then serve and enjoy!
