Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips
- 24 units chocolate or caramel candies (e.g., Rolos, mini peanut butter cups)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the cookie dough.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a chocolate or caramel candy in the center, then fold and roll the dough around it to completely enclose the candy.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the delightful surprise inside each cookie!
