If you're like me you spend most of the day trying to think "What's for dinner?". Sometimes I want to try something new or even just remember a good family favorite. I created this blog as a quick and easy way to help jog my memory and to share our family favorites across the web. My sister-in-law Marie and I post some of our most successful recipes with pictures. Bon Appetite!

Rolo Peanut Butter Cookies

This sweet treat is one of my husband's favorites. What's not to love? It has a peanut butter cookie wrapped around a Rolo candy then baked. When you take a bite the chewy cookie is perfectly complimented with a creamy, gooey center of melted chocolate and caramel from the Rolo!




Cream together:

1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg

when mixed until creamy add:
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
3/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp salt

The dough will ball up around the mixer paddle when its done. unwrap a bag of Rolo candy and set a side. Take about 11/2 tbs of dough, place a Rolo in the center and pinch the dough up around the candy, then roll between your hands to make a ball. Place 1/2 cup of white sugar in a bowl and roll the ball in it then place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 375*.
