This recipe does not come from Cooking Light! But it is a delicious chocolate cookie with a Rolo inside so it's a keeper! Kind of putsy so plan for time to unwrap 48 Rolo candies. Enjoy!

Rolo Surprise Cookies

2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup margarine or butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans (finely chopped)
48 Rolos (9 oz. bag)
1 Tbsp sugar

Heat oven to 375.
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off. Combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda, blending with a wisk.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, margarine or butter, until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and eggs, beat well.
Add flour mixture, blend well.

For each cookie, shape one Tbsp dough around one Rolo, covering completely. When your hands get all gooey from this operation, rinse off and start again.
In small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup pecans and l Tbsp sugar.
Press one side of each cookie ball into the pecan mix. Place nut side up 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until set and slightly cracked.
Cool 2 minutes then remove from cookie sheet.
