Rolo Cookies

These are one of my favorite cookies. On the outside, it is a chocolate cookie, but as soon as you bite in, you taste a gooey caramel surprise. This recipie makes alot of cookies, so there are plenty to go around. This recipie is simple, but it does take time to wrap the dough around the rolos. For Christmas recently, I created a friends cookbook and my friend Taylor entered this recipie. Thank you Taylor!





Rolo Cookies

2 ½ cups flour

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa

1 t. baking soda

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter

2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
48 rolos

2 T. sugar

Combine flour; cocoa and soda and set aside.  Beat sugars and butter until well blended; add eggs and vanilla.  Add dry mixture and blend well.  Shape cookies into small balls.  Press Rolo into center of ball and cover with dough.  Roll cookies in sugar.  Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 350 degrees for 8-10 min., until tops of cookies are slightly cracked.  Cool on racks.

If you don't want to add the extra sugar on top, you can dash with powdered sugar when the cookies come out of the oven.
