And here's one of our Family's Favorites for all you last minute bakers out there.

 

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL COOKIES

 

1 c. butter (2 sticks - softened)

1 c. sugar

1 c. brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 c. flour

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 c. cocoa powder

. . .

2 T. granulated sugar (to roll dough in)

48 Rolo Candies

Cream butter & sugars until smooth.

Add eggs & vanilla.

Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl: flour, baking soda & cocoa powder

Gradually add dry mixture to butter mixture.  Beat until completely combined and chill cookie dough in fridge for 2 hours.

After chilled, roll heaping tsp. of dough into ball then flatten with palm of hand.  Insert a rolo candy (unwrapped for all you literal peeps out there) into the center and reform ball around candy.  Dip dough into granulated sugar and place on cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 for 8 minutes, cool on sheet for 2 mins, then remove to cool...ENJOY!!!
