How to Make Pecan Rolo Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup chopped pecans and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar mixture until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans.
  7. Using floured hands, roll 1 tablespoon of dough around 1 Rolo candy.
  8. Gently press one side of the dough-covered Rolo into the pecan-sugar mixture.
  9. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly cracked.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies.
