Cookies Using Rolo Candies

Cookies are such a great dessert! They are already portioned, there are endless possibilities, and the kids can help make them. These Rolo Sugar Cookies are a great combination of a delicious candy, and a basic sugar cookie.

Another great thing is that you can roll it in any color sugar that suits the time of year, making them so festive!

• ¾ cup (1 and ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 and ½ cups granulated sugar

• Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix until just combined.

• Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then enjoy!

Rolos used to always come individually wrapped in foil, like Hershey Kisses. This was the very worst part of making any cookie with Rolos, but they have come out with a bag that is UNWRAPPED! Boom! If you bought the wrapped one just make the kids do that part.

Mix up your dough, and scoop out with your cookie scoop. Press a rolo in the center and then wrap the dough around, concealing the rolo. This is where you would roll in colored sugar – if you want. Bake and enjoy (perhaps cool for a minute first)!
