Do you ever have left over candy? Especially at this time of year. Well I seem to have rolos around the house and this recipe is a perfect use for them. This is a delicious cookie. I would even venture to say that it is totally acceptable for those Christmas cookie plates that we all like to give to our neighbors. However, for me it is that cookie that satisfies all chocolate fixes that a girl could need. It. is. that. good. If you didn't know what they were you would think it was just a normal chocolate cookie, but as soon as you bite into it, you know it isn't just another chocolate cookie. With it's gooey caramel center it is sure to please everyone!
Ingredients:
2 1/4 C. flour
3/4 C. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1 C. Sugar
1 C. packed brown sugar
1 C. butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 C. chopped nuts (your choice - I prefer walnuts)
60 Rolo candies - or one bag
4 tbsp. sugar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; blend well.
- In a large bowl, beat sugars and butter until fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Slowly add flour mixture; blend well. Stir in 1/2 cup nuts.
- For each cookie, with floured hands, shape about 1 tablespoon dough around caramel candy, covering completely.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup nuts and 4 tablespoons sugar. Press one side of each ball into nut mixture.
- Place, nut side up, on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes. Cool slightly and remove from sheet.
