Rolo Cookies From Crystal Ashton

Rolo Cookies
From the Kitchen of Crystal Ashton

1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup baking cocoa
2 1/2 cups flour
1 bag rolo candies

Cream together margarine and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy. Add baking soda, cocoa and flour to cream mixture. Scrape dough off sides of bowl and wrap in plastic wrap. Cool in fridge for at least 30 minutes to one hour (makes the dough much easier to handle). When dough is chilled, take one tablespoon of dough and roll around one rolo. Roll the cookie in sugar and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes. You can tell the cookies are done when they have completely flattened and you cannot see the outline of the rolo candy any longer.


Note: Buy the rolo candies at the register in the “rolls”. This way you will not have to unwrap each individual piece of candy. You will need about six rolls.
