Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3.5-ounce Green & Black’s Caramel chocolate bar
milk, for brushing cookies
1/4 cup sugar in the raw
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease two cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar; add vanilla and egg, and mix well. Add flours and salt, and combine well.
Cut chocolate into squares, and then cut each square into half. Form a golf-ball-sized ball of dough, and make an indentation in the center; place one half-square of chocolate, and form dough around the chocolate to seal it completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
Place cookies onto prepared cookie sheets, and flatten cookies slightly with your hand. Brush lightly with milk, and sprinkle sugar in the raw over tops of cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are just set, and barely golden at the base. Let cool 5 minutes, then place cookies on a rack to cool completely.
