ROLO COOKIES!

GOOEY ROLO COOKIES!

I had a yearning for baking this morning. I had been scouring some delicious food blogs when I came across these... Rolo cookies!
 

The hubby was quite pleased with the look of them in the article, so I sent him out for the ingredients. :)
 

They turned out quite delish and were surprisingly easy to make. I drizzled some white glaze icing over the top afterwards to make stripes.

There were heaps left over so I got to take them into my office at school the next day. When I left at 3, every single one was gone, so I guess that's a good sign.

THE RECIPE

2 and a half cups of plain flour

3/4 cup unsweetend cocoa

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup sugar

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

1 cup butter

1 block Nestle Rolo chocolate

DIRECTIONS

1.  Heat oven to 180C

2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Mix it up well.

3. In a seperate large bowl mix the sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Beat, and then add in the vanilla and eggs. It'll beat into a nice gooey light brown mixture. Yummm...

But wait! Don't eat it yet! There's more~

4. With floured hands, shape about one tbsp of the mixture into a flat disc. Press on top one square of rolo chocolate. Then cover this with another dollop of the mixture so the chocolate is in the centre. Get rid of any seams with your hands, and place on a greased baking tray.
5. This made about 24 for me.
6. Bake for aprox 15 minutes, until firm, but not crisp.
7. Take out to cool.

These are best a little underdone so they're nice and fudgy.
The caramel may stick to the tray a little, so be careful when removing the cookies. :)
