Submitted by Corianne A
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 (13 ounce) package Rolo candies (put bag in freezer before for easier handling!)
4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, melted
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture, beating just until combined.
Shape a tablespoonful of dough around each candy, forming a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-10 minutes or until tops are slightly cracked. Don't overcook, they become hard! Cool for 3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Drizzle with melted white chocolate.
