I just made a batch of awesome cookies!  This recipe came from my friend Amber, though I honestly don't know where it originated.


Million Dollar Caramel Cookies

1 cup butter softened
1 cup white sugar, plus 1 Tbs
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour, plus 1/4 cup
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup cocoa
2 heath candy bars
1 bag Rolo carmels

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. In med bowl beat butter and sugars until fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla.  Beat well.
3. In separate bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups flour, cocoa and baking soda.
4. Add flour mix to sugar mix a little at a time.  Then beat.  If dough feels too sticky sprinkle in extra flour.
5. Cover and chill dough in the refigerator for 30 minutes.
6. Chop Heath Bar into small pieces. Place in small bowl and toss in 1 tbs sugar.
7. Take one scoop of dough and wrap around each of the Rolos, forming balls to cover with candy.
8. Dip the balls into the Heath Bar mix and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
9. Bake 7 to 10 minutes.

Cookies will look quite soft but do not over bake. Cool 2-3 minutes on the pan then move to rack or counter to finish cooling.


My take...these are super fab!  If you are a toffee fan, you're definitely want more than 2 Heath Bars though.  I could easily use 3 or 4.  If you don't like toffee, you could also roll them in plain sugar.

This yielded 4 1/2 dozen for me.  If I had stopped eating the dough and Rolos, I could have probably got 5 dozen.
