Here's a recipe that I apparently forgot to post last year and I can't find a photo of it. I do remember it being delicious though!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans, divided
1 package (13 ounces) Rolo candies
(I used 1 and a half packages of Rolos-depends on how much dough you put with each. I was trying to make it stretch to have at least 5 dozen)
In a large bowl, cream butter, 1 cup sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans.
Shape dough by tablespoonfuls around each candy. In a small bowl, combine remaining pecans and sugar; dip each cookie halfway.
Place with nut side up on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 7-10 minutes or until top is slightly cracked. Cool for 3 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: about 5 dozen.
Caroline's notes: I used about a tablespoon of dough and quickly patted it putting the rolo in the middle and sort of folding the sides of the dough around. Quickly rolling in a ball seemed to even out the dough around the rolo.
