Rolo Cookies
Description
The dough is made by creaming softened butter with sugars, then adding eggs and vanilla for flavor and structure. Dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, and salt are mixed in before folding in chocolate chips. Dough balls are formed and each encases a Rolo candy completely to avoid caramel spilling during baking.
Baking at 375°F for around 9-11 minutes produces cookies with golden edges and a soft center. Letting them cool on the baking sheet before transferring helps set their shape. The combination of the chocolate chips and the caramel Rolo center gives layered sweetness and texture to every bite.
For smaller versions, use mini Rolos and smaller dough portions. Unwrapped Rolos save prep time. Cookies are best enjoyed within five days stored in an airtight container.
