Ingredient

1 package (16 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Ready to Bake!™ Sugar Cookie Dough (24 Count)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon red gel food color
24 chocolate-covered caramel candies (such as Rolo®)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon flaked sea salt (such as Maldon™)

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment. Set aside.

Step 2
In a gallon-sized zip-top bag, place sugar cookie dough, cocoa powder and red gel food coloring together. Knead bag until ingredients are well combined.

Step 3
Wrap 1 tablespoon of dough around 1 caramel candy, encasing the candy in the dough ball. Place ball on cookie sheet. Continue until all dough has been rolled into cookie rounds.

Step 4
Bake cookies in preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or just until they begin to set. Remove cookies and cool completely.

Step 5
Melt white chocolate chips in one zip-top bag, and milk chocolate chips in another. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of each cooled cookie, sprinkling tops with flaked sea salt. Allow chocolate to cool and harden before serving. Serve at room temperature.
