Rolo Sugar Cookies
Description
These sugar cookies are made with a mixture of flour, baking soda, salt, and melted unsalted butter creamed with brown and white sugars. Vanilla extract, an egg, and an egg yolk provide structure and richness. After combining dry and wet ingredients, chopped Rolos are folded in to disperse chocolate-caramel bits throughout the dough.
Portioned dough balls are spaced on parchment-lined baking sheets and baked at a moderate temperature. The cookies develop lightly toasted edges while maintaining a somewhat underbaked, soft center. Cooling on racks finishes the settting.
The resulting cookies offer a tender texture cut by caramel and chocolate flavors from Rolos, making for a rich indulgent snack or dessert.
Though they might seem slightly soft when removed from the oven, cooling time is essential to achieve proper texture. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies light. Use parchment to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
