Chocolate Rolo Cookies

When it comes to cooking, I'm all about finding simple recipes that taste divine, this is definitely one of those! These cookies are basically fool proof, and are so much fun! Not only do I stick to the traditional recipe, but I like to mix this one up. For example, one time I had a chocolate cake mix on hand, but no rolos. All of my friends wanted chocolate cookies, so I decided to make the cookie dough from this recipe and add Ande's Mint Chips to the dough, oh my it was so good! Another time I didn't have chocolate cake mix, but I had the funfetti one, with rainbow dots and rainbow dot frosting. I made cookies out of the cake mix and then frosted the cookies, and they were amazing! This is a fun recipe good for any occasion. What I love about the original recipe is the carmel surprise in the middle! I hope you like it!

1 Chocolate Cake Mix
2 Eggs
1/3 cup Oil-I use Canola
23 rolos

Mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil very well-I beat this one good! The dough almost turns a lighter brown color and feels really soft. It is a beautiful dough-and tastes really really good!
Scoop the dough into balls-I use my cookie scoop-and then press a rolo in the middle and roll the dough around the edges, so you can't see the rolo at all and it's a perfect ball. Place on the cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for 8 minutes
These may be a little doughy in the center when you pull them out, but after cooling they will be perfect! I like to sprinkle powdered sugar on top, but it's not a necessity. I usually double this recipe because they vanish so fast :)
