A rich and fudgy chocolate cookie stuffed with a Rolo candy, resulting in a hidden gooey caramel center in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 package Rolo Candies, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  6. Take about 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it, place a Rolo in the center, and wrap the dough around it to seal completely.
  7. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be set but the centers should still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Ensure the Rolo is completely covered by dough to prevent caramel leakage.
  • Do not overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can make it easier to handle if it feels too sticky.
