Rolo-Stuffed Chocolate Cookies

These Rolo-Stuffed Chocolate Cookies are rich, fudgy chocolate cookies filled with Rolo candies. If you love chocolate and caramel, this is the cookie recipe for you!

This recipe is such a favorite among family and friends. And they are the perfect sweet treat for Valentine’s Day. ♥ On the outside they look like ordinary chocolate cookies, but inside there is a chocolate caramel surprise that everyone is going to love! 

This recipe begins by whipping up a simple chocolate cookie dough, which gets wrapped around Rolo candies into cookie dough balls. I like to roll the cookie dough balls in a mixture of sugar and chopped pecans to make them look prettier and more presentable. However, if you want to skip this step (in case of a nut allergy or otherwise), that is totally fine. While the cookies are baking in the oven, the dough balls spread and the Rolos melt and create a chocolate caramel center that is absolutely divine. The cookies are best served fresh and warm from the oven, while the caramel center is still ooey and gooey.

For This Rolo-Stuffed Chocolate Cookies Recipe, I Recommend:

1. Hand Mixer – For a simple baking job like this, a small hand-held mixer is really all you need. It costs a fraction of the price of a traditional stand mixer and it works great for making cookies and cakes.
2. Mixing Bowls – This is a 3-piece set that is great for combining ingredients. I love how easy they are to store and clean.
