Rolo Stuffed Cookies


Alright, truth time: these cookies have become my favorite homemade cookie. For. Real. This is serious biz, as I REALLY loved my chocolate butter cookies or homemade Oreos. But these cookies are perfect. I’ve been a fan of Rolos since age five. My grandma used to take me to Dinkel’s Pharmacy (cute, yet ridiculous name, right?) and would buy me a roll of Rolos. It’s no wonder I love the little caramel candies so much.

Furthermore, pecans are my favorite nut. I normally don’t like nuts in cookies, but I’m sold on these. I’ve made two batches already. Plus another batch for the office. They’re a huge hit around here. Give them a try – I guarantee you’ll like them!
