10 minute Rolo Cookies
January 9, 2013 by alysha
Yay! I’m so excited for this post. I’m going to share one of my family’s all-time favorite recipes.
Ooey gooey deliciously easy Rolo cookies.
Don’t get me wrong, I will never stop loving the plain ole chocolate chip, but if you ever want a simple recipe with a little extra chocolatey caramel zing, you have to try these!
First step, make the cookie dough. I used my all-time favorite cookie dough recipe here, and just left out the chocolate chips.
Ingredients for cookie dough {already doubled}.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/3 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 eggs
2 t soda
1 t salt
2 t vanilla
4 1/2 cups flour
STEP 2- Grab a bag of Rolos
{Tip: Milky Ways candy bars are delicious in these as well.}
Unwrap the Rolos. {Your kids are great to enlist for help for this!}
Ok, so now you have your finished cookie dough, and your Rolos. Pretty simple thus far, right?
Next, grab a medium sized ball of cookie dough.
Press a Rolo in the center.
Cover the Rolo in the cookie dough.
It’s so easy, my 3 year old rolled all of them. She felt like such a big girl. 
Ta-da!
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Don’t overbake.
{TIP: some Rolos will stick to the pan a little bit. Make sure cookies cool before taking them off the pan.}
Simply. Delicious.
And easy. Yesss.
And there you have it! A simple, tasty, FAST twist to your typical chocolate chip cookie. Perfect for busy mom’s on the go.
And they’re perfect for Valentine’s Day gifts.

These look delicious!
The photos are gorgeous & make my mouth water
Now I think I’m going to have to pin this for later!
Oh wow, these look so delish. And your pictures are AMAZING.
YUMMMM!
so simple and they look delish! Love how you packaged them – and your gorgeous photos!
Looks good! If you don’t want to unwrap the Rolos, buy the tubes of Rolos with the regular size candy bars (usually by the register) instead of a bag.
Good point Theresa! I just went the bag route because it was cheaper.
I will be making these for my daughters. They look d lish. Thanks for sharing.
These ARE delicious and you packaged them so beutifully!
Wow. These photos are just beautiful! I would swear you’re a food stylist!
I’ve made similar cookies to these for years – except my cookie dough is chocolate! My family loves them — especially when they are warm!
These are also so yummy when made with a chocolate cookie too – which is just a devils food cake mix, eggs and oil. These are so easy to make!!!
Great idea Jennifer, I’ll have to try that!
Hi, those black and white treat boxes are terrific. Where did you find those?
Hi Shannon! The treat boxes are from Michaels.
I think I just got them in the baking section. Hope this helps!
Oh WOW. You took a simple recipe and made it look GORGEOUS. I’m in awe.. can’t wait to try these!
Sheesh i didn’t think cookies could be so photogenic.
they look delicious and so easy!!! Thsnks
