Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 36 pieces Rolo candies (unwrapped)
- 36 pieces halved pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a Rolo candy in the center and wrap the dough around it to completely encase the candy. Roll the dough into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Press a halved pecan gently onto the top of each cookie, flattening the dough slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
