Ingredients
Ingredients

- Green sprinkles, enough to coat each cookie ball
- Rolos candies, one per cookie
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies at the right temperature.
- Prepare Dough with Candy: Take a piece of sugar cookie dough and place one Rolo candy in the center, ensuring the candy will be fully enclosed.
- Form Cookie Balls: Roll the dough around the Rolo candy to form a ball, making sure the dough completely surrounds the candy to prevent leakage during baking.
- Coat in Sprinkles: Roll each cookie dough ball in green sprinkles until fully coated for a festive appearance and added texture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated cookie balls on a baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart as they will spread while baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set and avoid breaking.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy the delicious, gooey chocolate caramel surprise inside each cookie!
Notes

- You can substitute green sprinkles with other colors to match different occasions or themes.
- For best results, use chilled cookie dough which helps the cookies hold their shape better while baking.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- This recipe yields 8 to 12 cookies depending on dough size.
