Vanishing Rolo Cookies
the cook:guest about more

This recipe is from Kelly.

2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
75 Rolo candies. (My advice is to buy several packages. Hey, there are worse things than having a bunch of leftover Rolos!)

  1. Beat sugars and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Add flour, cocoa and baking soda. Blend well.
  2. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  3. Shape roughly 1 tablespoon of dough into the palm of your hand and form a ball. Press the Rolo into the ball and cover it completely.
  4. Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and chill for 1 hour. (Personally, I use parchment paper becuase everything burns on my "non stick" baking sheets.)
  5. Bake for 9 - 12 minutes at 375 degrees.
  6. Change into loose clothing, preferably yoga pants and a sweatshirt, and inhale large quanitites of Rolo cookies.

A Few Other options:

  1. My mom drizzles melted white chocolate on the tops of the cookies. Mom, you'd make Martha Stewart proud! ;)
  2. I have seen other Rolo cookie recipes that omit the cocoa. If you don't want a cookie that is really chocolate-y, you might want to try that variation.
  3. I have seen other Rolo cookie recipes that include an extra step -- coating the top side of the cookie dough ball with chopped nuts.
