  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 48 chocolate covered caramel candies (such as Rolo®)
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • OPTIONAL – 4 ounces chocolate almond bark (chocolate confectioners coating)

Adapted Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Mix flour, cocoa powder and baking soda together in a small bowl.
  3. Beat 1 cup white sugar, brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.  Add vanilla extract and eggs, beat well.
  4. Stir the flour mixture from the small bowl into the sugar and butter mixture in the larger bowl and mix well.
  5. Lightly flour hands.  Shape about 1 tablespoon of dough around 1 chocolate-covered caramel candy, covering it completely, creating a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and remaining candies.
  6. Place 2 tablespoons white sugar in a small bowl.  Press one side of each ball into the sugar.  Place balls, sugar side up, onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 7 – 10 minutes, until cookie is set and slightly cracked.  Cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optional step – Melt almond bark in a saucepan over low heat.  Drizzle over cookies.
