Rolo Cookies

Submitted by heather in Ont

"I got this recipe from my neighbour Bonnie who brought them to a cookie exchange. Needless to say they were a big hit with the kids (big and small). Having the Rolo in the center gives it a wonderful surprise when biting into it. Keep the Rolo's in the freezer until ready to use as it improves the texture of the cookie. One of the few cookies my DS likes. Prep time includes the 1 hour to chill dough."

These are wonderful cookies! Delicious and easy to make. Made them for a family reunion tomorrow. As another reviewer mentioned, I didn't find the large Rolo's, so I used the mini ones and they were still great. Can't wait to hear what my family thinks. These are definitely going onto the Christmas Cookie List. Thanks for posting the recipe.<br/>Joan - Ontario

I sent a whole batch to my husband in Afghanistan and he was so happy! I think they'd be good as a peanut butter cookie, but they were still pretty good!

Excellent. Very easy and tasty. I made them for my holiday cookie tray and gifts and will be making them again soon, I'm sure. Thanks for posting.

These were best right out of the oven. The next day they didn't have a ton of flavor, but still good. Rolos are my favorite candy, so I just had to try these.

these are very tastey. i got 50 some cookies and they will be a great addition to my holiday trays. I like them best fresh out of the oven because the caramel kinda gets too hard for me to chew once they cool but everyone else could still eat them fine. I missed the note about freezing the rolos, but i think they turned out just fine
