Snowball Caramel Surprise Cookies

Snowball Caramel Surprise Cookies
Do you know what two of my favorite desserts are? Caramel and snowball cookies (also know as Mexican wedding cakes). When I found this caramel surprise cookie recipe from LANCASTER Soft Crèmes, I couldn’t wait to take a bite! I usually only make these snowball cookies for Christmas, but now I had an excuse to try them with CARAMEL. These LANCASTER Soft Cremes new soft caramels are inspired by Milton Hershey’s original recipe, and are perfect for baking. Reimagine your caramel 😉
