CHOCOLATE COATED CARAMEL THUMBPRINT COOKIES
The last time I made these cookies was at Christmas time before I went to Florida. But my inspiration came from the thumbprint cookies and the turtle cookies and the fact I love peanut butter and chocolate together. They are a little time consuming but well worth the labor. You will be so amazed at all the flavors. I also make these and add chopped pretzels to the caramel. They are amazing also. Enjoy
