Just like its namesake chocolate bar, there’s a decadent surprise inside.
Ingredients
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 Caramilk chocolate bars, broken into squares
1 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
PREHEAT oven to 350F. Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
STIR flour with salt in a medium bowl.
BEAT butter with sugar in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, until smooth, 1 min. Gradually stir in half of flour mixture, until just combined. Add remaining flour mixture, kneading with your hands, until dough forms a ball.
SCOOP dough and roll into 1-in. balls. Flatten into a round in the palm of your hand and place a square of Caramilk chocolate in centre of dough. Fold up sides and re-roll into a ball. Arrange on prepared sheets, 1 in. apart. Cookies will spread as they bake.
BAKE in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching sheets halfway through, until edges have set, 15 to 17 min. Leave on sheet for 5 min, then transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely. Dust cooled cookies with cocoa powder.
Chatelaine celebrates, inspires, informs and empowers. We know that Canadian women contain multitudes, and we cover all of the issues—big and small—that matter to them, from climate change to caregiving, Canadian fashion and what to cook now.
