"UGLY" COOKIES



I came up with these last Christmas when we had some leftover candies. They aren't the prettiest to look at when the chocolate and caramel melts (hence the name), but I keep getting requests from my husbands work to make some more.

Time 26m

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups chopped hershey's chocolate caramel kisses
1 1/2 cups chopped reese's miniature peanut butter cups

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla together in the bowl of your electric mixer until creamy.
  • Add eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Gradually beat in flour mixture (still using electric mixer).
  • By hand stir in the chopped candies.
  • Place rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
  • These will spread a bit and gnarl up where the caramel bits are.
  • Be sure to let a cookie sheet cool completely before loading it up with another batch of cookie dough; a hot pan will make the cookies spread too much.
  • Cool cookies on the baking sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
