These Double Caramel Sugar Cookies are soft and chewy and have the perfect blend of vanilla and two types of caramel. These might just be our new favorite cookie.
We’ve been eating all the random things in our pantry these days and just trying to use up what we have on hand without going to the grocery store.
I’ve been craving my favorite sugar cookies, but I also found a package of Rolos and a little container of caramel sauce (from my kids school lunch bin area). And then it hit me….add them to the cookie dough for a decadent Double Caramel Sugar Cookie.
Ingredient notes and substitutions:
- butter
- sugar
- eggs
- AP flour
- baking soda
- cream of tartar
- pure vanilla
- Rolo candies
- caramel sauce
- Electric Mixer
- Cookie Scoop (I used size 40, medium)
- Rimmed Baking Sheet
Double Caramel Sugar Cookies
These cookies couldn’t be any simpler. I started out with my classic sugar cookie recipe and then had fun by adding caramel and Rolo candies!
Cream butter and sugar in a mixer on medium speed. Add in eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined. Add in flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar and continue on medium speed until well combined. Stop mixing and scrape sides of the bowl a few times to make sure everything is mixed in.
Add in chopped Rolos and caramel sauce. Mix with a wooden spoon just until combined (keep some ribbons of caramel showing).
Scoop into 1 inch balls using a cookie scoop. Bake until edges are set and start to turn a golden brown.
Remove pan from oven and cool 2 minutes, then transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Tips for the Perfect Sugar Cookies
These tips work for my Double Caramel Sugar Cookies or any sugar cookie recipe you might have.
- Always spray the pan, no matter what the instructions say (or line baking sheets parchment paper).
- Scoop dough balls using a cookie scoop for consistent size which means even baking.
- Take cookies out of oven just as the sides are beginning to set up for a moist, chewy sugar cookie as they will finish setting up as they cool.
- Use the best vanilla you can get your hands on. You will be able to taste the difference, promise.
