- Green sprinkles, approximately 1/2 cup
- 8 Rolo candies
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
- Prepare Dough Balls: Take a piece of sugar cookie dough and place one Rolo candy in the center of the dough piece.
- Enclose Candy: Roll the dough around the Rolo candy to form a ball, ensuring the candy is completely enclosed inside the dough.
- Coat with Sprinkles: Roll each cookie dough ball in green sprinkles until fully coated to add color and texture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading as they bake.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving to set properly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy the warm, gooey chocolate caramel surprise inside each delicious cookie.
Notes
- Ensure the Rolo candy is fully enclosed in dough to prevent it from leaking while baking.
- You can substitute green sprinkles with any color to match different themes or holidays.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Cookies are best served warm to enjoy the melted chocolate and caramel center.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
