2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

4 squares Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate

1 cup butter

1-1/2 cups sugar, divided

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

Make It

MIX flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted; stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add 1 cup sugar, egg and vanilla; mix well. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Refrigerate 15 min. or until dough is easy to handle.

HEAT oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in remaining sugar. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets. (If thinner, crisper cookies are desired, flatten balls with bottom of clean glass.)

BAKE 8 to 10 min. or until set. Cool on baking sheets 1 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

Omit 1/2 cup of the sugar. Prepare dough and shape into balls as directed. Roll in 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans instead of the sugar. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets. Make indentation in each ball. Bake as directed. Microwave 1 pkg. (269 g) Kraft Caramels and 2 Tbsp. milk in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 min. or until caramels are completely melted, stirring after 2 min. Spoon evenly into centres of cookies. Drizzle with melted Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate. Cool completely.
