I'd have to say that if there is one thing I love to try new recipes for, it would be desserts :) MMMM. I had these cookies a long time ago, loved them, and then completely forgot about them......until now! I came across this recipe and remembered a long lost love. With chocolate, more chocolate, and caramel, how can you go wrong...really?!

Ingredients:
2 ½ cups flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
48 Rolos, unwrapped
1 tablespoon sugar
4 ounces vanilla-flavored candy coating, optional
Directions:
1. In medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; mix well.
2. In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, and butter; beat until light and fluffy.
3. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour mixture; blend well. If necessary, cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes for easier handling.
3. For each cookie, with lightly floured hands, shape about 1 tablespoon dough around 1 caramel candy, covering completely. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Cool 2 minutes and remove from cookie sheets. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
5. Melt candy coating in the microwave according to package directions. Drizzle over cookies.

Anything that is stuffed is awesome... but with chocolate you are taking me to whole another level..Delicious, and gorgeous photo!!
ReplyDeletethe cookies look divine- loved the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThere's no way I could get that many Rolos unwrapped - I eat them too fast! Great cookie!
ReplyDeleteI just made these last week...nothing better than that caramelly surprise with your first bite. Yours look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I made a chocolate chip stuffed cookie last weekend, but I'm craving the extra chocolate and caramel in this recipe!
ReplyDeleteOMG, how sinful! I can just imagine my teeth sticking together while eating that. Looks so good!
ReplyDeleteAnother great use for leftover Halloween candies or in this case Christmas since we use Rolos as place markers for Christmas BINGO at our annual party.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, YUM! Rolos are my favorite candy- I even named my horse Rolo! These look fantastic...I'll let you know when I fall off the New Years Healthy Eating Bandwagon, because these are the first thing I'm going to try!
ReplyDeleteOMG what a great idea! I love rolo but putting it in the center of a chocolate cookie is an incredible idea!
ReplyDeleteOMG these cookies look delicious! I haven't had Rolos in forever. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I have had such a sweet tooth lately!
ReplyDeleteGENIUS! I haven't had a rolo in forever!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I agree with others--that I would eat more rolos unwrapping them than I could get stuffed in the cookie! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteChocolate, more chocolate ... and caramel - the diet is just going to have to wait! I love that delicious surprise in the middle.
ReplyDeleteCaramel heaven! What a fun and innovative idea.
ReplyDeleteWonderful centers....I'm always in with caramel. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am on the hunt for Rolos -- hard for me to find. I will persevere just to be able to make -- and eat -- these gems.
ReplyDeleteRosemary, I found Rolos hard to find too! So, I found that Great Value has a basic caramel filled chocolate candy, and went with that. They turned out great! Although, I'm sure Rolos probably taste the best :)
ReplyDeleteamazing cookie recipe! will have to try this. :)
ReplyDeletea delicious cookie recipe. love the caramel filling. goes perfect with chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Rachel
have a wonderful rest of the week
Hi Rachel! I'm excited to try these. I did notice, though, that the instructions did not say when to use the 1 Tbsp. of sugar. Is it needed in the recipe? Maybe I'm just retarded and missed it while skimming through the instructions.:) Let me know! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! The original recipe calls for one tbsp sugar too, but never says where to use it. I didn't use it anywhere in the recipe, so I would just omit it :) Thanks for the catch!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies looks simply amazing, when I imagine eating them, it's like it's too delicious that my teeth will start hurting. I'll make sure that I'll try this sometime and let my husband taste it, since he has a sweet tooth. :)
ReplyDeletedo you love anyone enough to give that person your VERY last Rolo ?
ReplyDeleteNo ?
Me neither ;)
