Triple Chocolate Caramel Thumbprint Cookies

Last updated on May 7th, 2021.

These Triple Chocolate Caramel Thumbprint Cookies are and ultra chocolaty cookies loaded with chocolate chips and filled with smooth caramel.

Sometimes reality just sneaks up on you and you have to just roll with it and improvise. Just like this cookies season. I was so cutup with working on some recipes (like THIS, and THIS), it completely slipped my mind that I need to get some cookies boxes ready.

This recipe was the perfect solution to my problem. Easy, fast and so so delicious.

About The Recipe:

• This recipe was adopted from Taste Of Home Magazine.
• You can add to the dough 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or Hazelnuts.
• I used Nestle Dulch De Leche but you can use any other brand for Dulche De Leche or caramel.
• Make sure not to over fill the cavities or the Caramel will overflow.
• It is important to smooth the sides cookie after adding the Caramel to avoid it from going thro any opening.
• The cookie is ready when the caramel STARTS to bubble. Baking it longer will result in a flat unattractive filling.

HAPPY BAKING!!!
