Instructions

1

Prepare Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Pro tip: Sifting the cocoa powder prevents lumps.

2

Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Pro tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.

3

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Pro tip: Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.

4

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until the dough is just combined.

Pro tip: Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.

5

Shape Cookies

Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and flatten slightly. Place a Rolo candy in the centre and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges.

Pro tip: Chill dough briefly if it becomes too soft to handle.

6

Bake Cookies

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Place cookies 5 cm (2 inches) apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are firm.

Pro tip: Cookies will continue to cook on the cookie sheet after removing from oven.
