Caramel Nutella Crisps

By cuznvin

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 C. unsalted butter – softened
• 1 1/4 C. Nutella
• 1 C. granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 C. brown sugar – packed
• 4 eggs
• 4 C. all purpose flour
• 2 t. baking soda
• 1 1/2 t. baking powder
• 1 t. salt
• Milk Duds (approximately 10 ounces)
• Additional granulated sugar for coating cookies (about 1/2 cup)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, Nutella, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs one at a time.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least an hour. (I made my dough on Saturday night and didn’t make the cookies until Monday and they turned out great)

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Scoop out rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough, and press a Milk Dud into the center of each. Roll into a ball, and toss in the extra sugar, coating the outside of the cookie dough. Place on an un-greased baking sheet, leaving about two inches in between cookies.

Bake for about 9-10 minutes (be careful not to over-bake, or the cookies will not be as soft and chewy). Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can resist eating them for that long!).
