Caramello Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C Salted Butter
  • 1/2 C Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 C Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 C Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Tbs Milk
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 3/4 C Flour
  • 1 tsp Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 C Sugar (For Rolling Cookie Dough Balls)
  • 24 Caramello Chocolate Candies, (or Snickers)

Chocolate Frosting

  • 2 C Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 C Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Tbs Melted Butter
  • 4-6 Tbs Milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease two large baking sheets.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, sugars, vanilla, milk and egg until well combined.

  3. Whisk flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and gently combine with wet ingredients until evenly incorporated.

  4. Using a large cookie scoop, hand roll cookie dough into 1-2" balls. Firmly press one Caramello candy into the center of the dough ball, and gently fold excess dough back over the top of the candy to conceal it.

  5. Gently work to roll dough balls back into a circular shape and roll in a small bowl of sugar until evenly coated. Place evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are just set.

  6. While cookies are baking, whisk chocolate frosting ingredients together: powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, milk, and butter. Work towards smooth consistency just slightly runny for drizzling. Add milk as needed.

  7. When cookies have slightly cooled, drizzle with chocolate frosting and allow 10-15 minutes for it to set.
