Place teaspoonfuls of the caramel treat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour.
In the bowl of a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
Beat in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
Slowly add the flour and baking powder, scraping down the bowl occasionally until all the flour has been incorporated.
Add the chocolate chunks and mix well.
Pre-heat the oven to 180ºc and line 3 baking trays with parchment paper.
Take small handfuls of the dough and wrap around the frozen caramel ensuring the caramel is competely covered. Pinch together the seams where the dough meets and roll into a ball and place 3-4 on each tray. They spread quite a bit so you need to space them accordingly.
Place the cookie dough in the fridge until the oven is pre-heated.
Place the baking sheets into the oven and allow to bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown but still soft in the middle.
Remove from the oven and allow to chill for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
