Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups Milk Duds
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the Milk Duds and optional chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your chewy, caramel-filled Milk Dud Cookies with a glass of milk!
