Rolo Cookies

Yes, that's right. It's a rolo, and a cookie! And they're so good. My husband has already eaten half the batch that just came out of the oven. Can't blame him though :) I first made these cookies 3 years ago for Christmas and I've been making them every Christmas since. I think they're my tradition cookies now. Hope you enjoy them

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups salted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cups cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1 package (48 ct) rolos, unwrapped
1/4 cup sugar for rolling cookies in

Preheat oven to 350. In a mixer combine butter and 1 3/4 cups sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Mix in flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.

What you'll need to complete the cookie


Place 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Take a inch size dough ball (about a TBS size). Place an unwrapped rolo in the center and cover in dough. Next roll the rolo cookie ball in the sugar.


Then place on a greased, or silpat, cookie sheet.



Bake for 7-9 minutes (8 minutes is perfect for me) Let them cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
