Butter Yum is another website I follow and their stuff is fabulous.

This is their basic recipe with two or three things changed.

Two sticks of softened unsalted butter. Do not use margarine.

1 1/2 cups light or dark brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

3 cups rolled old fashion oats

2 five ounce boxes of Milk Duds sliced into four small pieces

10 caramels sliced into four small pieces

One box of mini rolos or pom poms for the top of each cookie.

You can use any chocolate covered caramel you like.

Kosher or sea salt to sprinkle on top of each cookie

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Mix the butter and sugar until it is smooth and fluffy

Add the eggs and vanilla

Mix till all is smooth

Add the flour, salt and baking powder

Mix well

Mix in the caramels,  milk duds and the oatmeal

Use either parchment paper or a silpac or else you will never get these cookies off the pan.

Take a rounded teaspoon  of the dough and roll into a ball

Place it in the pan

Flatten it just a little

Add the rolo in the middle of the cookie and sprinkle with the salt.

Place only eight to ten cookies  on each pan because they spread.

I baked my cookies at 350 degrees for 13 minutes and they were perfect.

Do not over cook them.

I am embarrassed to admit that I made two batches in two days.
