Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Rolo candies, unwrapped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently fold in the unwrapped Rolo candies using a spatula.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
  10. Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball, ensuring the Rolo candies are inside.
  11. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  12. Arrange the rolled cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
  14. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes.
  15. Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  16. Once cooled, serve the cookies with a glass of milk or coffee.

  • Chilling the dough is essential for maintaining the cookie shape during baking.
