Caramel Filled Cookies

So, a few nights ago I was in the mood for something sweet and delicious.. (Go figure, right?) So I go into the kitchen and start grabbing things out of my pantry and decide I want chocolate chip cookies with caramel filling... One problem, no eggs. So, against my usual taste I grab a few tubs of cookie dough (I am not a fan of the already made junk). Now, you may ask why I have pre made cookie dough if I dislike it so much, well its simple. I got it free, so why not!? Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the package mixes when you are in a pinch, because you can always "spiff" them up, but its hard to improve on the taste of the stuff that's ready to bake.. Anyhow.. Off to the good stuff. I had 2 tubs of chocolate chip cookie dough, and a bag of caramel nubs to work with so I jumped right in by greasing up a few cookie sheets and preheating the oven to the package *ick* directions. I spaced the blobs of cookie dough about 2 inches apart and then smashed them with the back of a well greased spoon.

Once you get this far place your caramel "nubs" in the center of each flattened cookie.

Then form the dough into a ball around the caramels.

Bake as directed. I always under bake my cookies just a bit because we like em a bit gooey, but if you prefer yours more crisp have at it. :) Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes to let them set up then place them on a cooling rack til cooled and then you can store them in your cookie jar (if they last that long that is)

The center is so tasty and gooey, you will be fighting over the last cookie!
