Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, softened
- 1 cup sugar divided, plus 1 tablespoon
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup pecans divided, chopped
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 24 Rolo candies unwrapped
- 4 ounces white chocolate
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl combine flour, cocoa and baking soda. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer cream butter, brown sugar and 1 cup sugar together until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until blended.
- Reduce your speed to low and add flour mixture. Blend until combined.
- Add ½ cup of the chopped pecans and chocolate chips, if you decide to use them.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining one-half cup pecans with the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Stir until as evenly coated as possible. Set aside.
- Now you have to make your cookies! Flour your hands to prevent sticking as necessary.
- Use between 2 and 3 tablespoons of dough. Press a Rolo candy into the middle of the dough. Make sure the Rolo candy is totally surrounded by dough.
- Next shape the cookie into a disc, or as Ken likes to say a hockey puck, and press one side of the cookie into the bowl with the sugar coated pecans.
- Place cookie, pecan side up, on your prepared baking sheet. These cookies will spread somewhat so space them about 1 ½ inches apart.
- Bake cookies until they start to crack, 9 to 12 minutes.
- Cool on the pan for a few minutes and then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling off you can melt the white chocolate.
- Place the white chocolate squares in a glass or microwave-safe bowl. Heat, in your microwave and stir every 15 seconds until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate into a plastic bag and snip off a corner.
- Drizzle and squeeze the chocolate over top of your cooled cookies.
- Set aside the cookies until the white chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
