Recipe(tried): Christmas Surprise Cookies (Rolo cookies)

Desserts - Cookies, Brownies, Bars
: A couple of years ago, I had a recipe for chocolate cookies with a Rolo candy center. I think I got the recipe from an advertisement from a Midwest Living magazine. Well, I lost it. Could anyone help? Thanks, Lou Ann

Hi Lou Ann,

I think this is what you're looking for. I made these for Christmas, and they were a big hit.

Chocolate Surprise Cookies

2 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 T. granulated sugar, divided
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans, divided
1 package (9 oz.) rolo candy
3 squares (1 oz. each) white chocolate, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 375. Place flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda in medium bowl; stir to combine.

Beat margarine, brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar with electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy; beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture and 1/2 cup pecans. Beat at low speed. Refrigerate dough, covered, 15 minutes or until firm enough to roll into balls.

Place remaining 1/2 cup pecans and 1 T. sugar in dish. Roll tablespoonful of dough around 1 rolo, covering completely; press one side into nut mixture. Place nut-side up on ungreased cookie sheets 3 inches apart.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Let stand on cookie sheet 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack; cool completely.

Place white chocolate pieces in small resealable plastic freezer bag; seal bag. Microwave at Medium 2 minutes. Turn bag over, microwave at medium 2 to 3 minutes or until melted. Knead bag until smooth. Cut off tiny corner of bag; drizzle white chocolate onto cookies. Let stand until set, about 30 minutes.

Makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies; one cookie has 173 calories and 9 grams of fat.
