    What You Need

    These Rolo filled cookies are made using basic pantry and staple ingredients... plus Rolos!

    The ingredients for cookies with Rolo chocolates.
    • Butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter for this recipe. If using salted butter, omit the extra pinch of salt in the ingredients list.
    • Caster sugar - also known as superfine sugar, this variety is perfect for baking as it dissolves easily when mixed with the butter.
    • Brown sugar - you can use either regular or dark brown sugar in this recipe.
    • Egg - choose a large egg (approximately 60g) and allow it to come to room temperature before using.
    • Vanilla extract - or vanilla essence.
    • Salt - add a pinch of salt (or omit if using salted butter).
    • Bi-carbonate soda - also referred to as baking soda. This helps the dough to rise into beautiful fluffy cookies.
    • Plain flour - also referred to all-purpose flour.
    • Chocolate chips - choose a good quality brand such as Cadbury or Nestle chocolate melts, chocolate baking bits or chocolate baking chips as they hold their shape when baked.
    • Rolos - a gooey round caramel chocolate coated in milk chocolate made by Nestle (or Hersheys in the US).

    Expert Tips

    • Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before using - this will ensure that the ingredients combine perfectly.
    • Chill the dough - for the best soft and fluffy cookies that don't over-spread, it's so important to chill the dough.
    • Store Rolo Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
    • Freeze the unbaked dough for up to 3 months or the baked cookies for up to 1 month. Wrap unbaked cookie dough in plastic wrap before freezing. Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container.
