Gooey Rolo Cookies Recipe
Description
This cookie dough is made by creaming together butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and egg until fluffy, then incorporating chocolate cake mix for a flavorful base. After chilling for an hour to firm up, dough balls are rolled in powdered sugar and flattened around a Rolo candy, enclosing the chocolate caramel center. Baking at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes softens the dough around the candy, creating a tender cookie with a molten candy core. If desired, additional powdered sugar dusting after baking adds sweetness and visual appeal.
The balance of cream cheese with the chocolate cake mix results in a tender and moist cookie distinct from traditional chocolate chip cookies. The melted caramel and chocolate from the Rolo candy ensures a gooey texture in the center that contrasts with the cookie exterior.
