Stuffing the Cookies with Caramel

Start to stuff you cookies by taking 2 tablespoons of dough and flattening it into a round shape, as pictured below.

Place your halved piece of caramel in the middle and fold two opposite sides up.

Fold in the other two sides then roll between your hands to soften into a ball shape.

Roll ball into the cinnamon sugar cookie topping to cover all surfaces.

Chill the Dough

Refrigerating the dough before stuffing the cookies makes a WORLD of difference. By keeping it cold the dough will stay more firm and not stick to your fingers when forming it.

If you are having a rough time forming the flat shape or rolling it into a ball then you need to place the dough into the fridge and allow it to chill longer.

Buying the Caramel

It is important to have the right caramel for this recipe. I used Werther’s Originals Chewy Caramels. Being sure to grab the chewy ones is important as the hard ones will not melt and create the ooey gooey cookie we’re going for!

All you do is unwrap your caramels then cut them in half. This is the perfect amount of caramel to cookie ratio. The caramel won’t ooze out when baking yet you still get a taste in every bite!
