  • Drop dough onto your baking sheet/parchment paper (1-2 teaspoons in size) and be sure to allow a few inches in between.

Notes

Things to Know Upfront/Quick Tips
  • These will bake pretty fast, so keep an eye on them to ensure they don't over bake/burn!
  • If you want less flat/thicker cookies, place the dough or formed balls in the refrigerator for at least an hour before baking.
  • You will need caramel chips or bits. You can find generic brands at the grocery store or get the Kraft brand here.
