Melanie Steele of Plano, Texas relies on a convenient cake mix and chocolate-covered caramels to fix these popular cookies. "They are very quick to prepare, yet they taste so good when served fresh from the oven," she says. "People are surprised to bite into this crisp cookie and find a gooey caramel center."

Some changes for less sticky dough. Used 1/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons of oil, and only 1 egg. Work dough well. Spraying Pam on hands also helps.
Love this recipe...have made it a bunch of times. However, made some changes because the original version's dough does come out way too sticky. I use only 1 egg and 3 tablespoons of canola oil. Dough needs to be worked well but much easier to work with. Spraying Pam on your hands helps too. Makes 3 dozen cookies.

<p>After reading the comments here, we have retested this recipe and made some modifications. We took out the water and increased the eggs to two and the oil to 1/2 cup. These changes resulted in much less sticky dough. This recipe here has been corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience. Taste of Home Test kitchen.</p>

The flavor was very good, but I found the dough much too sticky to form. I added quite a bit of flour to make it workable. They taste good, but I don't think this recipe is workable as written.

It was good, every one is right the dough is sticky. The recipie also does not make even close to 3 dozen cookies.

Forgot to mention...I omitted the hazelnuts.
These cookies are delicious! It took awhile to get the dough all mixed together, but I didn't have any trouble with it being too sticky once it was mixed. I also didn't have any trouble with the caramel...it stayed contained within the cookie.

My hubby and I thought these cookies were good, but not fantastic. Our kids, on the other hand, LOVED them. As the recipe states, the dough is sticky - TOO sticky. I had difficulty even forming them into balls at first. Finally, I coated my hands with some powdered sugar before rolling each one and that did the trick.

I've made these cookies every Christmas since they came out in the magazine and never had a speck of trouble making them. They're a hit everywhere I bring them.
