Ingredients
Ingredients
- Ready-to-bake sugar cookie dough (store-bought or homemade) – about 1 standard batch or 2 cups dough
- Green sprinkles – 1 cup
- Rolo candies – 20 pieces (one per cookie)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct baking temperature before placing the cookies inside.
- Prepare Dough: Take a piece of sugar cookie dough and flatten it slightly, then place a Rolo candy in the center of the dough piece.
- Form Cookie Balls: Carefully roll the dough around the Rolo candy to form a ball. Make sure the candy is completely enclosed within the dough to prevent it from leaking during baking.
- Coat with Sprinkles: Roll each cookie dough ball in green sprinkles until they are fully coated on the outside, which adds a festive look and extra texture.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated cookie balls on a baking sheet, spaced apart sufficiently (about 2 inches) since the cookies will spread while baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on the edges, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool before Serving: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes to set before serving and enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute Rolos with other caramel-filled chocolates if desired.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- For extra flair, use colored sprinkles matching your event theme instead of green.
- Ensure the caramel candies are fully enclosed in dough to avoid leakage and burning during baking.
