Ingredients

  • Ready-to-bake sugar cookies (store-bought or homemade)
  • Green sprinkles
  • Rolos candies

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2️⃣ Assemble the Cookies

  • Take a piece of sugar cookie dough and place a Rolo candy in the center.
  • Roll the dough around the Rolo to form a ball, ensuring the candy is fully enclosed.

3️⃣ Coat in Sprinkles

  • Roll each cookie dough ball in green sprinkles until fully coated.

4️⃣ Bake the Cookies

  • Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet, spacing them apart (they will spread while baking).
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden.

5️⃣ Cool & Enjoy

  • Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy the gooey chocolate caramel surprise inside!

Notes

Variations

  • Add a Drizzle – After baking, drizzle the cookies with melted white or dark chocolate for an extra touch of indulgence.
