Chocolate Caramel Cookies

For my last round of interviews with research participants, I decided to err on the side of sweetness. And boy are these babies SWEET!

They are adapted from Easy-Cookies.com and of course, I multiplied the recipe. In fact, I made a quadruple batch. Many cookies were had.

First, preheat your oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter, softened, 1 cup granulated (white) sugar, and 1 cup brown sugar.

Add in 2 eggs.

You know, the eggy kind of egg.

Plop in 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa and mix that stuff in good.

Then pour in 2 1/2 cups flour and mix thoroughly. This stuff gave my industrial-strength beaters a run for their money.

Lastly, pour in 1 cup white chocolate chips.Take yer dough, then, about a tablespoon’s worth, and wrap it around a Rolo candy (I thought about trying this with Caramilk, too, and may still try it).

I went through several bulk packages of Rolos so I’m not sure how many you will need. Each roll has 10, if that helps.

Make sure to seal the dough all the way around or things could get messy in the oven.

Plop the dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for about 7 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through, until set. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the sheet before removing the cookies to a cooling rack.
