Rolo Stuffed Cookies

I found a recipe for Rolo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Muffins the other day and could not stop thinking about them because I really really love chocolate chip cookies and I really really love Rolos and well, put them together and I will most likely eat every single cookie. Thankfully I had am oppotunity to take cookies to work earlier this week so I could not eat them all by myself  I had an excuse to make them. I am happy to report that they were the easiest and most declicious cookies I've made in a long time.  I decided to for-go puttin gthem in muffin tins because I really hate having to wash out my mini-muffin tin and because cookies cooked on my Pampered Chef Baking Stone always come out perfect!....meaning I can't burn them.

MMMMMMMMM!  COOOOOOOOKIES!

I went the semi-homemade route....I love me some Sandra Lee from the Food Network....and purchased a couple of packages break and bakes (that were on sale and used a coupon so I got 2 packs for $3.90), along with a big bag of Rolos (that I may have gotten into and ended up with fewer Rolos that I did cookies).

Step 1

Make an indention in the center of the dough.  I used my thumb which made a perfect Rolo-sized spot. 

Step 2

Place an unwrapped Rolo in the indention made by your finger. (My Rolos apparently did not like sitting in my car on the way home and ended up a lil melted before they were baked--no worries! they melt completely when they're cooked anyway!)

Step 3

I then rolled the dough into a ball around the Rolo.  One dough ball from a 24 pack of break and bakes is enough for one cookie. Be careful when rolling the balls because if your Rolos are soft they will smoosh, too. 

Step 4

Set the dough balls on your pan (or your baking stone) with about 3" in betwen each cookie.

Step 5

Bake cookies according to directions on the package.  These cooked for 11 mins at 350 degrees. I usually leave hot cookies on my baking stone for several minutes so they can cool.  That way they do not fall apart when I take them off the pan.  The Rolos will melt when cooked so cookies will  look like regular old chocolate chip cookies. 

But take a bite and there's the Rolo in all of it's Chocolatey and Caramely glory!

I took about a break and bake package and a half (30 something cookies) to work and came home with zero.  Did I mention there were only 8 of us that ate on them?  They are addicting!  The extra 12 or so cookies lasted a day.....and this is why I only make cookies when there are lots of people to share them with.  Hi my name is Betsy and I have 0 self control when it comes to chocolate chip cookies.
