MOLTEN-MIDDLE TRUFFLE COOKIES

As you can tell from the ingredient list, I got this recipe from Kraft. These are good cookies.

3

BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

1/4

cup (1/2 stick) butter

1

sweetened condensed milk

1

tsp.  vanilla

2

flour

1/2

cup finely chopped PLANTERS Walnuts

24

KRAFT Caramels

1/4

cup sugar

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Microwave semi-sweet chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted, stirring after 30 sec. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Blend in milk and vanilla. Add flour and walnuts; mix well. (Dough will be stiff.)

SHAPE 1 level tablespoonful of dough around each caramel half, enclosing caramel completely. Roll in sugar. Place, 1 inch apart, on ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE 6 to 8 min. or cookies are until soft and shiny. Let stand 5 min. on baking sheet. Transfer to wire racks. Cool completely. (Cookies will firm up as they cool.)
