1 c. butter, softened
1 c. white sugar, plus 1Tbs
1 c. packed light-brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2.5 c. flour, plus 1/4 c.
3/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
2 Heath candy bars
1 bag Rolo chewy caramels
1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Beat butter and sugars until fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla and beat well.
3. In separate bowl, mix 2.5 c. flour, cocoa, baking soda. Add dry mixture to wet mixture a little at a time and blend well. Sprinkle extra flour if dough is too sticky. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
4. Chop Heath bars and toss with 1 Tbsp sugar
5. Wrap a piece around each caramel, forming a 1 inch ball and covering the candy completely. Dip top of the dough ball into the candy topping and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Cookies will look quite soft, but don't overbake. Cool in pan slightly, then move to a rack.

Chocolate Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 large egg
1tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or chunks
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and put rack in center of oven. Line two baking sheets with wax paper.
In the bowl mix the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla and beat. Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt and then add to the butter and egg mixture. Stir until just mixed. Fold in the the chocolate chips.
Make each cookie about 1 1/2 T, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for approximately 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before removing the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 24 - 3 inch round cookies.
I've also used butterscotch, caramel, and reg. chocolate chips in these. My favorite is white chocolate (surprisingly! I don't normally like white chocolate!)
