Remember the cookies I showed you on Sunday? I made them last night. They are unbelievably easy. And tasty. They were a huge hit at the baby shower last week, so it’s a nice easy recipe to add to your entertaining repertoire.
Rolo Cookies
From Mindy Nielson (who got the recipe from someone else…)
- 1 box Devils’ Food cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/2 package Rolo candies
Mix the first three ingredients together (I used my hand mixer) and then roll into little balls with 1 Rolo inside each ball (Mindy tries to make them as small as possible to maximize the Rolo to dough ratio, which is smart). Bake at 350 for 9 minutes. Makes about 30.
Jane sidenote: when I made them, I ended up with 22 cookies…and Mindy is right about the ratio thing, next time I’ll try to make them a little smaller.
Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
On my blog I have a similar recipe with just a FEW more steps not using a cake mix. It’s oh SO good and one of my favorites. Thanks for this shorter version to experiment with as well!

I make a similar cookie in a mini muffin tin. Make the same cake base, fill each wrapper about halfway and place a rolo in the middle. Also works great with a peanut butter cookie base. YUM!

Those sound so yummy!
Have you ever tried putting a Rolo on top of a bite size pretzel and baking at 350 for just a few minutes until the Rolos melt a little? Also very tasty! Could also do it with mini Reeses.

OMG these are great! I bet you could make them with other candies inside. I’d totally try them with Snickers!

Oh stop it, you’re just aiding and abetting my addiction to sweets. Now for a shot of the gooey middles?

Saw this recipe and the next day went out and bought the rolos and cake mix. Made them the day after that. So good!

Do the rolos melt inside the cookie, or do they remain pretty much whole?
Comment by Donna — October 24, 2009 @ 6:49 am
they melt some…when my friend mindy made them, her’s were flatter and more melted than mine, so I’ll do some digging to see if she didn’t something different than I did. either way, they were good!

I love rolos…it might be dangerous for me to make these cookie because I’d probably keep eating the rolos as I went. YUM!
