OH MY......


So YUMMY - these cookies are sinful - the caramel inside is still gooey when they are cooled.
Had to share.
I made a double batch tonight - 6 dozen for a cookie swap and leftovers for the guys lunches and to share at work.
Chocolate Caramel Cookies

TIME: Prep:25 min. Bake: 10 min.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans, divided
1 package (13 ounces) Rolo candies

Directions: In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, 1 cup sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans. Shape dough by tablespoonfuls around each candy. In a small bowl, combine remaining pecans and sugar; dip each cookie halfway. Place with nut side up on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 7-10 minutes or until top is slightly cracked. Cool for 3 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: about 5 dozen.

They went over so well last night - Mandy's husband called me on my way home - he had eaten almost the whole package and asked if he could buy more. Took them to work too and made copies of the recipe all day long! :-) Give them a try!
