Rolo Cookies
Rolo Cookies are chocolate cocoa cookies wrapped around a caramel-filled Rolo candy, then baked until just set with slightly cracked surfaces. The contrast of fudgy cocoa dough with the warm, melting chocolate-caramel center and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt creates a textured, sweet and salty treat. Rolling cookie dough balls in sugar before baking adds a delicate crunch to the outside.
