Chewy Chocolate Surprise Cookies
- 1 cup butter
- 1 14 cups sugar (reserve 1/4 c.)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 14 cups flour
- 34 cup cocoa powder (I prefer Dutch process)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 40 individual Rolo chocolates (I find these work best)
- In bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
- In another large bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda.
- Stir in sugar and egg mixture until it becomes soft dough.
- Let sit for 1/2 hour in fridge if possible.
- Place remaining sugar on plate.
- Divide dough into 4 parts.
- Place one tablespoon of dough in palm of hand.
- Press into flat circle and place one Rollo in centre.
- Bring up sides of dough to cover Rollo completely.
- Roll between palms to make a ball.
- Roll ball in sugar until covered.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes in 350 degrees oven or until tops are cracked and firm.
- *** You may need to play with the exact temperature - they key is to make sure they do not brown on the bottom, so check and adjust after the first batch.
- I've also found that they come out a bit better if they are cooked in single batches.
- Let sit on baking sheet 3-4 minutes before removing to rack.
