Ingredient List
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

- ¼ cup caramel sauce
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 20 Lancaster™ caramel soft crèmes, unwrapped (from 8-oz package)
- ½ cup coarse white sparkling sugar
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
Preparation
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons caramel sauce over cookies. Let stand about 2 hours or until caramel is set.
Recipe Tips
- For recipe success, use the caramel soft crèmes specifically called for, rather than traditional hard caramels.
