Rolo ® Cookies
2 1/4 c. flour
3/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
½ c. sugar
½ c. packed brown sugar
1 c. butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 c. chopped nuts (your choice)
48 Rolo ® candies (milk chocolate covered caramel)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and soda; blend well. In large bowl, beat sugars and butter until fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Slowly add flour mixture; blend well. Stir in nuts. Chill dough in the refrigerator or just go for it! For each cookie with floured hands, shape about 1 tablespoon dough around caramel candy, covering completely. Place on ungreased sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes. Cool slightly and remove from sheets. 48 cookies.
A side note! I reduced the sugar in these cookies. If you want sweeter cookies up the sugars to 1 cup each – YIKES!
They look and sound yummy!

And if you want a tasty twist… substitute 1/3 of a york peppermint patty for the rollos. Oh the taste of mint!
Blessings, Kim
