Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups of Butter at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups of Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon of Kosher Salt
  • 1 3/4 cups of All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 cups of Quick Oats
  • 2 cups of Chocolate Chips
  • 36 Rolo Candies unwrapped and frozen (or equivalent caramel-filled chocolate candy)

Instructions

  • Initial Preparation: Begin by placing the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment. Operate the mixer at a medium speed for a duration of 2 minutes to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
  • Incorporating Wet Ingredients: Proceed by adding the eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, and kosher salt into the mixture. Continue mixing for an additional minute until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the mixture appears smooth.
  • Adding Dry Ingredients: Reduce the mixer's speed to low and gradually introduce the all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined. Follow this by adding the quick oats. Increase the mixer speed to medium if necessary to ensure even incorporation.
  • Inclusion of Chocolate Chips: With the mixer still set on low, add the chocolate chips into the batter, mixing until they are evenly distributed.
  • Dough Chilling: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour. Concurrently, ensure that the caramel-filled candies are frozen.
  • Pre-Baking Arrangements: Once the dough is sufficiently chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Forming the Cookies: Utilize a medium-sized (2-tablespoon) cookie scoop to portion the dough. Insert a caramel candy into each portion, wrapping the dough around the candy and sealing it to form a ball. Place the dough balls approximately 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Baking Process: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the tops have just set.
  • Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to complete the cooling process.
