Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups Milk Duds
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the Milk Duds and optional chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your chewy, caramel-filled Milk Dud Cookies with a glass of milk!
