Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup butter cold & chopped into pieces
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 15 caramels I use Werther’s original soft caramels
For the Frosting:
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Heath chocolate cut into pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Use a standard mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk and mix.
- Add the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a dough starts to form.
- Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, form the cookie dough into balls. Now it’s time to stuff the cookies with those caramels. Stuff each cookie with a soft caramel and form the dough ball around the caramel so there is no caramel showing. Place cookie dough balls on the prepared pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
- Once cooled for 10 minutes, scoop 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk over each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool completely by placing them in the fridge.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, make the frosting. Using a standard mixer, whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and continue whipping it on high speed.
- Stiff peaks should start forming on the cookies. Once they do, transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag, or a plastic bag (with the corner snipped off).
- Frost each cookie and sprinkle with heath candy chunks. Refrigerate for 10 more minutes and enjoy with your favorite glass of milk!
