How to Make Peanut Butter Rolo Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 24 small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  7. Place one Rolo candy in the center of each ball.
  8. Roll each ball in ½ cup granulated sugar to coat.
  9. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
