I just can’t get enough.
Chewy chocolate cookies are seriously the death of me…well all cookies are, but lately, chocolate has me wrapped around its chewy chocolatey little finger. See, this is the problem….having a sweet tooth and not being a picky eater. One day, I love all things strawberry and the next I want chocolate and caramel. What gives? Seriously, it’s so hard… 😉
I had two recipe fails last week. Not one, but two. Ya know, it’s frustrating, but I learn a ton when things don’t always turn out right, and I never make the same mistakes twice…or I shouldn’t make the same mistakes twice. Anyway though…these Chocolate Rolo Cookies are definitely not a fail. I must say, these are reeeeeaaally good. Like I’m kind of mad I brought them to work and didn’t leave them at home to munch on kind of good. That is my sweet tooth devil talking, not the real me, sometimes she can be selfish.
Rolos! Gosh they’re addicting, aren’t they? They are great to bake with, too. I tried making something sort of similar with caramel cadbury eggs and it just didn’t work out. The caramel literally melted through the entire cookie leaving absolutely no chunks and turning the cookie burnt brown. Yes, it’s a color. Rolos don’t do that – they hold up really well.
As you can see…chewy chunk of golden caramel are throughout each entire cookie. That’s heaven people. HEAVEN.
To achieve the right amount of caramel in each cookie, I quartered about 1/4 of the bag of rolos then topped each cookie with 3-4 chunks before I baked as well as mixed them into the cookie dough.
Did that make any sense? Just make sure you not only mix the rolos into the dough but top each cookie with some chunks, too!
Just don’t share these though. They’re too good. Keep them all for yourself!
Kidding!!!
