My Secret Baker was Beth Lloyd. Not only did she give me the most amazing cookies but she delivered them in person!!!!



The cookies included : Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies, Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti and Snowpeople Cookies ( Cream Cheese Cookies). All of them are amazing but my personal Favorite are the snowpeople cookies!



Recipes will be posted on Beth's Blog http://lloydsdinnerandamovie.blogspot.com/.

Caramel-Filled Chocolate Cookies

These are the cookies I baked for the December Exchange.



INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter, softened
17 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans, divided
1 (13 ounce) package Rolo candies
4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, melted (I forgot this)

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, 1 cup sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans.
Shape a tablespoonful of dough around each candy, forming a ball. In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar and pecans; dip each cookie halfway. Place nut side up 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-10 minutes or until tops are slightly cracked. Cool for 3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Drizzle with melted white chocolate.

( I left off the nuts as my person couldn't eat certain types)
