Rolo Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar, firm pack
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (or other nuts)
1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter, softened
1 (13 ounce) bag Rolo chocolates (unwrapped)
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

Preparation

Heat oven to 375. In small bowl combine flour, cocoa and baking soda. Mix Well.
In large bowl beat 1 cup sugar with brown sugar and margarine until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and eggs and beat well. Add flour mixture and blend.
For each cookie, shape about 1 tablespoon dough around 1 Rolo, covering compleletly. If dough is too sticky to handle easily, refrigerate until desired firmness is achieved.
In a small bowl combine nuts and 1 tablespoons of sugar. Press 1 side of each ball into the nut mixture and place, nut side up, two inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 7-10 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet and then transfer to wax paper to cool completely. Do not cool on wire rack or caramel centers will fall through.
