List of Ingredients




¾ cup (1 ½ Stick) butter, softened
½ light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
30 individual solid chocolate candies
½ cup confectioners’ sugar

1. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and cinnamon.

2. Stir flour butter mixture until well blended. Cover; chill for 1 hour.

3. Preheat oven to 350 F. Shape or roll 2 tablespoons of the dough into flat round. Place a chocolate candy in the center of each round.

4. Roll dough around candy into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and candy.

5. Place cookies, 1 inch apart, on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.

6. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks and cool slightly. Transfer cookies to wire racks and cool completely.

7. Arrange cookies on a cutting board or other work surface. Spoon the confectioners’ sugar into the strainer over the cookies to evenly coat them with the sugar.

8. Hint: Make sure the dough around the chocolate candy is completely sealed. Otherwise, the chocolate will met and leak through the dough, causing a sticky mess.

9. Caramel nest: 1 cup of white sugar and ½ teaspoon of vanilla. Place it in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon, until sugar is dissolved and golden. Cool caramel for 5 minutes and pour it over a very cold ceramic plate, very slowly (try to make solid lines). Let it stand in refrigerator until caramel has hardened. Remove it gently from the plate and use it as a nest for about 10 cookies.
