Preparation

Step 1

1.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon liner.
2.Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
3.Combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.
4.Gradually, add the flour to the creamed mixture, stirring just enough to incorporate the flour. Chill dough. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape rounded tablespoons of dough into a ball, pressing a Milk Dud into the center of each ball. (Be sure to cover the Milk Dud completely with the sugar dough).
5.Roll the ball in the sugar and place it on the prepared baking sheets. Be sure to space the cookies 2 – 3 inches apart.
6.Bake the cookies for 10 – 11 miutes, until they are just golden on top. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transfering to a wire rack to cool completely. Don't overbake.
