  • 1/3 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 egg

Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
2 In large bowl, stir together cake mix and flour. In small bowl, stir melted butter, 1/4 cup caramel sauce, egg, water and vanilla until blended. Add butter mixture to cake mix-flour mixture; beat with spoon until well blended. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
3 Shape dough into 20 (2-inch) balls. Press 1 caramel into center of each cookie, making sure to form dough around caramel to enclose; reshape into balls. Roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
4 Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
5 Drizzle 2 tablespoons caramel sauce over cookies. Let stand about 2 hours or until caramel is set.
