Chocolate Caramel Cookies



I posted about cake mix cookies a couple of months ago - love 'em! They're easy & super yummy. This recipe puts a new twist on the cake mix cookie. There's a hidden surprise inside!

These are baked with a Rolo candy hidden inside - YUM!!

They were easy to make, delicious to eat, and perfect for a cold & blustery Fall day.

Enjoy!



Chocolate Caramel Cookies

1 box devil's food cake mix
1/4 cup water
1 egg
3 Tblsp vegetable oil
3 Tblsp all-purpose flourRolo candies
Chopped nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans - pick your favorite)
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350*F.

Combine cake mix, water, egg, oil & all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Stir until well-combined.



Spray hand lightly with cooking spray. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls.





Press a Rolo candy into the dough ball...





... then re-shape the ball to completely cover the Rolo candy.


(You may need a smidge more dough to completely cover the Rolo)





Dip tops of dough balls into chopped nuts.





Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.





Bake at 350*F for 8-10 minutes (mine took about 12 mins) or until tops are cracked.

Cool for 2 minutes before removing from baking sheets to wire racks.

Store in an airtight container.





YUMMM!!!


I wondered if this would work with different combo's - chocolate cake mix with Reese's peanut butter cups, maybe? Yellow cake mix with Hershey's kisses? Pumpkin cake mix with Hershey's Hugs (white & milk chocolate)?


If you try another combo & it works, let me know!

I had 2 different friends this holiday season do Toffee chips in the vanilla cake mix and crushed candy cane, and they were both yummy cookies. :)

I'm trying this recipe tonight with the rolos.
