Rolo Cookies

By brimfam

Ingredients

• 2 sticks butter
• 1 c. sugar
• 1 c. brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 3/4 c. cocoa
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 1/2 - 3 c. flour
• 40 - 50 unwrapped Rolo candies

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter. Add sugars and mix well. Add eggs. Mix well. Add vanilla, soda and cocoa. Mix well. Add enough flour to make a stiff, but not dry dough. It won't roll if it is too sticky or too dry. Using a small scoop, or a small walnut size chunk of dough, push in one candy. Wrap dough around and roll into a ball. Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. You can fit 2 dozen cookies on a standard jelly roll pan. Bake 350 degrees for 7-9 minutes. Don't overcook. Let sit on the pan for a couple minutes before removing to a wire rack.
