Ingredients
Ingredients
- Ready-to-bake sugar cookies (store-bought or homemade) – enough for 8-12 cookies
- Green sprinkles – approximately 1 cup for coating
- Rolos candies – 8-12 pieces, one per cookie
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature when you bake the cookies.
- Prepare Dough with Rolo: Take a piece of sugar cookie dough and place a Rolo candy in the center of the dough.
- Enclose Rolo: Carefully roll the dough around the Rolo candy to form a ball, making sure the candy is completely enclosed within the dough to prevent leakage during baking.
- Coat with Sprinkles: Roll each cookie dough ball in green sprinkles until fully coated, giving the cookies a festive and colorful exterior.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow the cookies room to spread as they bake.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set and make handling easier.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy the warm, gooey chocolate caramel surprise inside these charming Pot of Gold Cookies!
Notes
- Use store-bought dough for convenience or homemade sugar cookie dough for a personalized touch.
- Ensure the Rolo candies are fully enclosed to avoid caramel leaking during baking.
- Adjust baking time slightly if cookies are larger or smaller than typical size.
- Green sprinkles add color and texture but can be substituted with other colors as desired for different occasions.
- Allow cookies to cool enough so they can be handled safely before serving.
