After a long break from baking, mainly due to a move back to Switzerland, it’s now time to bake again and what better time of year to do it. Who can resist these heavenly chocolatey cookies?
Grab your hand mixer and bake these sinfully delicious Chocolate Caramel Crinkle Cookies today.
Adding caramel to the dough makes these cookies so special. You can find soft caramels in most supermarkets. During baking the caramel starts to ooze out of the cookies which is exactly what we are looking for. Don’t over bake them, once they start to crinkle, take them out.
