How to Make Caramilk Cookies

Ingredients

• 200g cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 180g light brown sugar
• 80g white caster sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 225g self-raising flour
• 125g plain flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 200g Cadbury Caramilk, chopped
• 100g milk chocolate, chopped

Directions

1. Chop the butter and beat it until it is just softened but not fully creamed. Add both sugars and mix until just combined.
2. Mix in the eggs. Don’t worry if the mixture looks slightly lumpy at this stage.
3. In a separate bowl, mix both flours, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold this into the butter mixture until you get a thick dough.
4. Fold in the chopped Caramilk and milk chocolate chunks using your hands.
5. Form the dough into rough 120g balls and place them on a lined baking tray. Chill in the freezer for at least 90 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake 3-4 dough balls at a time on a preheated baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, until they are firm on the outside but still gooey inside.
7. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before indulging in these decadent, chocolatey treats!

How to Serve Caramilk Cookies

Caramilk Cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while they are still warm. You can serve them plain or with a glass of cold milk to enhance the experience. They also pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, turning them into a delicious dessert that everyone will love.

How to Store Caramilk Cookies

To keep your Caramilk Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to a week. If you want to keep them for a longer period, you can freeze the cookies for up to three months. Just make sure to separate layers of cookies with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
