When our older children were younger, they took swimming lessons at Nat Soo Pah. While spending the mornings there, I met people, and somehow these cookies came into the discussion. And now I have the recipe!
1 c. sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa
2¾ c. flour
4 1.7 oz. pkgs. Rolo candies (aprox.)
4 oz. vanilla flavor chips (optional)
Pre-heat oven to 350°. Cream together sugars and butter and then blend in vanilla and eggs. Add baking soda, cocoa, and flour. Chill dough for ½ hour. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Push a Rolo candy into the center of each ball, and push the dough around it to completely cover the candy. Place on a ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the cookies crack. Cool for 2 minutes and remove from sheet. Melt vanilla chips and drizzle over cookies. Makes 30-40 cookies.
