Chocolate Caramel Cookies

If sin were in the form of a cookie, this would be it. Such a sinfully easy recipe too. Almost too easy. I made these last night and could not believe just how good these were.  I'm usually a much more "by scratch" girl when it comes to cookies, but this recipe broke all my previous perceptions of simple cookies made of box cake mix.

Chocolate Caramel Cookies

The recipe says it makes 3 dozen. We got 2 dozen and 3 extra cookies. And that's with minimal eating of the raw cookie dough.

• 1 package Devil's Food cake mix
• 1/4 c water
• 1 egg
• 3T vegetable oil
• 36ish Rolo candies (Get extra if you have Blueberry helping you cook. I'm just sayin.
• Chopped hazelnuts

 
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, egg and oil. Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into balls. Press a candy into each; reshape balls. Dip tops in hazelnuts.

Place 2-in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until tops are cracked. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
