CARAMEL FILLED CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Category: Cookies

2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
16 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar, divided
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
48 ROLO candies

In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until combined, add vanilla. Add in dry ingredients, beating until just combined. Cover and place bowl into the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. (you need to chill or else it's too sticky)

Get out your cookie scoop and filler up. Unscoop it onto your hand and create a hole and place a Rolo in and cover with the cookie. I usually added another 1/2 scoop here just to get the Rolo completely encased in glorious chocolate cookie batter.

Roll the cookies round and dip the TOP in the sugar. Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes (mine were perfect at 11).

Store in airtight container.
