Rolo Cookies
Submitted by Sheryle on March 25, 2004 at 5:37 am

2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts
1 bag or 7 rolls of Rolos

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In small bowl combine flour, cocoa and baking soda. Mix well.

In large bowl beat 1 cup sugar with brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs and beat well. Add flour mixture and blend. Stir in 1/2 cup of nuts.

For each cookie, shape about 1 tablespoon of dough around 1 Rolo, covering completely.

In a small bowl combine remaining nuts, finely ground, with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Press one side of each ball into the nut mixture and place, nut side up, two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 7-10 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely.

Sheryle's notes: Works best if dough is chilled. Try to have a little bit more dough at the bottom of the cookie or the caramel melts through, making it difficult to remove from the cookie sheet. It also wouldn't hurt to leave the cookies on the sheet a little bit longer than the recipe says. Be very careful when removing cookies from cookie sheet, because they have a tendency to fall apart while warm. Better still - use parchment paper and just pick paper and cookies up at the same time and transfer to cooling racks. Cool completely before removing from paper. This eliminates the chance of them falling apart.
