Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 151kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick rolled oats
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup walnuts finely chopped
- 16 Rolo candies chilled and chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in the egg, then add the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture until just blended.
- Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and fold in the oats, caramel sauce, walnuts, Rolo chunks, and chocolate chips. Using a standard cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops begin to turn light golden in color. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
STORE Carmelitas Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain freshness. Let them cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container, where they can be frozen for 3-4 weeks. Adding a slice of bread to the container helps keep them soft without drying out.
You can also refrigerate or FREEZE the dough in an airtight container, then leave it at room temperature until soft enough to form cookies before baking.
When ready to enjoy, let the cookies thaw at room temperature or REHEAT them in the microwave for a few seconds until slightly gooey.
