I love to cook with friends. Sometimes a group of us will plan a few recipes in advance, then cook in pairs and enjoy eating our creations for lunch. At our last get together, we made these rich chocolate cookies, based on an award-winning cookie from Sally’s Baking Addiction. They were so decadent, I just knew I had to share them with you.

This is the second cookie in my “two bite” dessert series. Easy and versatile, this recipe will make 36 small or 18 big cookies. For variety, use different kinds of candy, nuts, white chocolate or butterscotch chips. Make these cookies VEGAN by using vegan butter, egg replacement and vegan chocolate chips. Just leave out the Rolo candies. For a gluten free version, use gluten free flour.

For best results, chill the batter before rolling the cookies and chill the rolled cookies before baking. This extra step makes prettier, rounded cookies.

Pour yourself a cold glass of milk and dig in to Double Chocolate Caramel Cookies.

Enjoy and stay tuned for raspberry jam bars next week!
