Ingredients
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened to room temp
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup caramel or caramel fruit dip
Instructions
- IMPORTANT: This dough must be chilled to prevent the cookies from spreading!
- Beat sugar, milk, butter, egg yolk + vanilla
- Add in flour and cocoa until combined.
- Chill the dough for 1 hour.
- When ready to bake, roll balls in 1/2 tablespoon increments.
- Make indent in center of cookies using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon
- Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet at 350 for 10-12 minutes. We put 12 cookies on a standard sheet but they don't spread very much
- As soon as cookies come from oven, re-press the center of the cookies to make an indent as they will have risen. Fill the indention with caramel and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes until the caramel spreads and is smooth in the center
- Optional: When cooled - drizzle with red and green chocolate
