These delightful Rolo Cookies combine the rich, chocolatey flavor of Devil's Food cake mix with the gooey caramel goodness of Rolo candies. Soft and chewy on the outside with a melted caramel center, they're easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 15.25 ounce box Devil's Food cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

Filling and Coating

  • 1 bag Rolo candies (about 36 pieces)
  • Powdered sugar (for rolling the dough balls)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set it aside for baking.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Devil's Food cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. The dough will be sticky, so refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up and make it easier to handle.
  3. Shape Cookies: After chilling, use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough. Roll each portion into a loose ball in your hands.
  4. Add Rolo Candy: Press one Rolo candy into the center of each dough ball. Fold the dough around the candy to cover it completely, then roll again into a smooth ball.
  5. Coat Dough Balls: Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar to coat evenly. Place the coated balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned. Avoid overbaking to keep the centers gooey.
  7. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is important to prevent excessive spreading during baking.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be set but soft to keep the caramel inside melted.
  • Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • For best results, handle the dough quickly when enclosing the Rolo candies so the candy centers remain intact.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
