Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar. Mix in cocoa powder and milk.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
- Roll dough into small balls (about 1 1/2-2 inches wide) and place on prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb to press down in the centers of the balls to make an indent.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes until cookies look dry and start to crack a bit around the top. (I prefer to under cook mine a little bit so they stay very soft and chewy) Gently press down the centers again. Immediately place a Rolo in the center of each cookie. Return pan to oven for about 1 minute. Remove from oven and immediately place a pecan on the top of each Rolo and press down firmly so the melty Rolo squishes out around the pecan.
- Serve immediately or allow to cool completely and store at room temperature in airtight container up to 3-4 days.
Notes
- Store in airtight container at room temperature up to three days.
