Project Pinterest: Chocolate Caramel Cookies

I remember the wrapped square Kraft Caramels from when I was a kid.  My mom used to purchase them (upon occasion) as a special snack.  I remember that there were only three or four chocolate caramels in the bag, and we used to scramble to find those first.  Aaaah, memories.

Anyways, I digress.  Here's the new generation of baking caramels:

I decided to go the chocolate route for Valentines Day rather than pink and fluffy.  So, I went in search of a recipe using these caramel bits.  In my search, I came across this recipe from Rookie Cookie, and pinned it, just in time for the occasion.

I got up on Valentines morning, and after sending my hubby and son out the door, I got to work.  My daughter was getting ready to start her homeschool day, and I was busy in the kitchen -- still in my jammies.  What can I say?  I was on a mission.

Wouldn't you know that one cookie fell apart when I was taking it off the baking stone.  So, I tested it to make sure it was ummm... safe for my family.

Two words:

Oh. My.

This is a super-easy recipe to put together, and oh-so-delicious!
