Indulgent chocolate caramel cookies with a delightful crunch from Cocoa Puffs® cereal and potato chips - a perfect sweet treat!
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 tablespoons coffee grounds from brewed coffee
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 bag (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups slightly crushed rippled potato chips
  • 1 1/2 cups Cocoa Puffs™ cereal
  • 30 round chewy caramels in milk chocolate (from 12-oz bag), unwrapped, cut into quarters
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl, cream brown sugar, sugar, butter, and shortening until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  • Combine coffee grounds, vanilla, and egg in a mixing bowl and beat on low speed until well blended.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms. Then, mix in the rest of the ingredients.
  • Scoop dough onto cookie sheets using a 1/4-cup measure, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes until light golden brown. Let cool for 4 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks. Ensure they are completely cool before storing in an airtight container.
