Rolo Cookie Cups
Description
The Rolo Cookie Cups recipe mixes melted butter and brown sugar with eggs and vanilla, then folds in a blend of flour, corn starch, baking soda, salt, and mini chocolate chips. The dough is spooned into muffin tins, flattened, topped with two unwrapped Rolo candies each, and covered with more dough. Baking yields a soft cookie exterior with warm, melted caramel centers from the Rolos. The cookies have a tender crumb with bursts of chocolate throughout.
These cookie cups work well as individual desserts or party treats, easy to serve and eat by hand. Their balance of sweet caramel and chewy chocolate offers a satisfying texture contrast. They can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container to retain freshness for several days.
Let the cookie cups cool before removing them from tins to keep their shape intact. Storing them the right way preserves the soft texture and gooey caramel centers. Baking time is brief, so watch carefully to avoid overbaking.
