Rolo Cookies

Yep, you read right, Rolo cookies. Chocolate and caramel, two of my favorite things in a cookie~YUMMY!

I only make these a couple of times a year because I will eat more than I should. But Valentine's Day, now that is a time of the year that you can and should eat ALL things chocolate and caramel. I meant to buy red colored candy melts for the drizzle to make these more Valentine festive but spaced.

You also don't need to put any drizzle but I think it makes the cookie so much prettier.

2 Eggs
1 C Butter softened
2 t Vanilla
2 1/2 C Flour
1 C Brown Sugar
3/4 C Cocoa
1 C Sugar
1 t Baking Soda
1 bag of Rolos unwrapped

Mix your wet ingredients, add the dry and mix. Take a heaping tablespoon of dough and wrap around the Rolo making a ball. Make sure that the Rolo is completely wrapped, you don't want the caramel to seep out while baking.

Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes. Take out of the oven and whack on the counter to flatten a bit (you don't have to do that but I like a more uniform looking cookie, plus I like the element of surprise when someone bites into the cookie). Put on waxed paper to cool. Drizzle with white chocolate.

Put your Rolo in the middle of some dough and roll into balls
This is about how big they should be, about the size of a large gumball.Give them a whack on the counter before you take them off the pan
Drizzle
