Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 48 chocolate-covered caramel candies (such as Rolo®)
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 ounces chocolate almond bark (chocolate confectioners coating)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a small bowl. Beat 1 cup white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs; beat well. Stir flour mixture into sugar mixture; mix well.

Step 3

Lightly flour hands. Shape about 1 tablespoon dough around 1 chocolate-covered caramel candy, covering it completely. Repeat with remaining dough and caramel candies.

Step 4

Place 2 tablespoons white sugar in a small bowl. Press one side of each ball into sugar. Place balls, sugar sides up, onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until cookie is set and slightly cracked, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6

Melt almond bark in a saucepan over low heat. Drizzle over cookies.
