Chocolate. Cinnamon. Caramel.  The flavor combo in these cookies is always a fantastic and delicious surprise!

 

Ingredients

• 1 bag dry sugar cookie mix (NOT the tube of dough!)
• 8 oz. of unsweetened chocolate
• 1/3 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 tsp cinnamon
• 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE with evaporated milk)
• 1 bag of chocolate and caramel candies

Tools

• Cutting board
• Butter knife
• Large heatsafe mixing bowl
• Mixing spoon or rubber spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spatula
• Cookie sheets
• Parchment paper or cooking spray
• Impromptu double boiler

Prep Tips

• While watching TV or chatting with a friend, unwrap the candies and place in a bowl.  Pop them into the fridge to chill before getting ready to bake!  This will help the candies from melting too fast when put on the cookies!

Step-by-Step

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and prep cookie sheets (either with parchment paper or spray).
2. Roughly chop the unsweetened chocolate and cut butter into squares.
3. Using your impromptu double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring occassionally to ensure all chocolate melts.  Remove bowl from double boiler once chocolate is melted.
4. Stir the condensed milk into the chocolate mixture.
5. Then, stir in the cookie mix and cinnamon until well combined.
6. Use a tablespoon to form each cookie and drop onto lined or greased baking sheets.
7. Bake 6 to 7 minutes (edges will be shiny!), and remove from the oven.
8. Immediately press 1 candy into the center of each cookie.
9. Cool on sheets for about 5 minutes, then enjoy!!!
