Million Dollar Caramel Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar, plus 1 tbs
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour, plus 1/4 cup
3/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
2 Heath candy bars
1 bag Rolo chewy caramels

1. Preheat oven to 375. In a med. bowl, beat butter and sugars until fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla and beat well.
2. In a separate bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups flour, cocoa and baking soda. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture a little bit at a time and blend well. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour. Cover and chill dough in fridge for about 30 min.
3. Chop heath bars into small pieces. Place in a small bowl and toss with 1 tbs sugar.
4. Once dough has chilled, wrap a piece around each caramel, forming a 1-inch ball and covering the candy completely. Dip top of the dough ball into the candy topping and place on parchment -lined baking sheet.
5. Bake for 7-10 min. Cookies will look quite soft, but do not overbake.Cool in pan slightly, then move to rack or the counter to finish cooling. Store in a covered container.

  1. I hid all of these after the cookie swap so that I didn't have to share them with anyone. Gone in 24 hours!!
