I got this recipe from a website by a lady named Peg. She has a marketplace every year in her neighborhood to sell Christmas goodies. Among the crafts and such she makes, she also has baked treats on hand. One of her recipes stood out to me so I thought I'd pass it on to you. Peg's Rolo Chocolate Cookies2-1/4 cups flour 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa 1 tsp. baking soda 1 cup sugar 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 cup butter or margarine, softened 2 tsps. vanilla 2 eggs 1 cup chopped pecans 48 Rolo Caramels, unwrapped (9-oz. pkg.) Heat oven to 325. Lightly s-p-o-o-n flour into measuring cup; level off . In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and cocoa; blend well. In large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, brown sugar, and margarine until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour mixture; blend well. Stir in 1/2 cup of the pecans Chill dough for a little while to stiffen. For each cookie, with floured hands, shape about 1 tables-p-o-o-n-f-u-l dough around 1 carmel candy, covering completely. In small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup pecans and 1 TBSP sugar. Press one side of each ball into pecan mixture. Place, nut side up, 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely on wire rack. Peg’s Hints:Put cookie dough in the refrigerator or freezer for a little while until kind of stiff and easy to handle. Make sure your hands are floured well when shaping into ball.
