Ingredients
2 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 tablespoons salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
36 mini Snickers
12 vanilla caramels
1 tablespoon whipping cream
1 splash Coarse salt
Preparation
Preparation: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line bake sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated and brown sugar. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour mixture. If necessary, cover and chill for 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.
Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Press a Snickers bite into each ball and shape dough around caramel to enclose. Place cookies 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool completely.
To finish: Place vanilla caramels and whipping cream in a small pan over medium-low heat and cook until caramels melt and mixture is smooth. Drizzle melted caramel mixture over cookies and then sprinkle cookies with coarse salt. Let stand until set.
