CHOCOLATE CARAMEL ROLO COOKIES

My family is crazy about these cookies and we’ve been making for years. The cookie recipe was a $2,000 winner in the 1990 Pillsbury Bake-off. Stuffing a Rolo candy inside a chocolate cookie was a brilliant idea. How can you go wrong with the combination of chocolate and caramel.

I originally posted these cookies in August 2008, the first year I started blogging. I’ve been trying to update my posts with better pictures, so when my husband made them again recently, I took some much better pictures.

These cookies are better if slightly underbaked. I’m not a nut lover, so when my husband made them this time, he omit nuts on half of them for me. He’s crazy about nuts and added pecans to his half. Either way, if you haven’t baked a Rolo cookie before, you need to get on that asap.
