This month I wanted to share with you all something a little on the sweet side! Katie Kasper of Lewiston, Calif., shared with me her Rolo Cookies. Everyone knows about those gooey little chocolate candies we all grabbed at the local gas station on our way to a jackpot or rodeo. This is the new sweet you will be thinking of before you make that weekend jackpot run! But don’t take my word for it, give it a try and see for yourself!

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2 3/4 cup flour

3/4 cup baking cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup margarine

2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

48 rolos — (about 3-4 rolls of Rolos, or buy the bagful)

Mix sugars, baking cocoa, margarine, vanilla and eggs. Once it’s all mixed, add the flour and the soda. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. Roll dough around to about the size of a ping pong ball, stick the Rolo in it and roll it more in your hands to make sure the Rolo is in the middle of the dough. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 7-10 minutes. 
You can usually tell they are done when the tops are starting to crack.
