White Chocolate and Caramel Cookie Muffins

I have a thing for cookies. I like them fresh. I like them frozen. I like them on lollipops. I like them raw. I like them as pretty much anything. So I thought it would be cute to bake them in muffin tins so I could have bite sized cookie muffins and give them away as little holiday gifts!

You could really make these with any kind of cookie dough, but I wanted to try out these White Chocolate and Caramel Cookie Muffins that I had been imagining. I don’t know, but something about caramel and white chocolate just makes my mouth water! And these cookies didn’t disappoint!

Once you have the dough made and places into the muffin tins, you just stick a little chunk of caramel in the middle and press down and cover it with more dough. This makes the caramel a nice little surprise when you bite into them!
