Rolo Stuffed Cookie Cups

Do y’all know what a cookie cup is?

It’s just a bunch of cookie dough baked inside a muffin tin! Easy, right?

The reason I love cookie cups is because the dough has nowhere to spread – it’s going to stay in the shape of the muffin tin so you get big, fat, thick cookies and everybody needs a big, fat, thick cookie in their life, right?

I’ve made a few other cookie cups recipes in the past, like these oatmeal cookie cups and peanut butter s’mores cookie cups. Both are so freaking good and these ones here don’t disappoint either!

It’s so fun to bite into a big ol’ cookie to be surprised with a gooey, melty, molten caramel middle!

How to make Rolo cookies:

First, let’s whip up our cookie dough.

You’ll start with the usual ingredients: butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg. Beat those until they’re nice and creamy.

Next up you’ll need to stir in some flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

Once that’s all combined, add in some chocolate chips. My family prefers milk chocolate chips, but use whatever variety you like best.

Grab a medium cookie scoop and drop a scoop of dough into a greased muffin tin. This recipe will make about 10 cookie cups.

Use your fingers to press the dough neatly into the bottom of the muffin tin.

Next, place two Rolo candies side by side over the dough and then top it off with another scoop of cookie dough.

Press the dough down to cover the Rolo candies.

These bake up in about 10-12 minutes.

Let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing.

The best part is that Rolo candies have a nice liquid caramel in the center, so these cookies will always have that gooey feeling when you bite into them, even when they aren’t warm from the oven. Love that!

Hope you guys give these a try. I think they’d be a fun addition to any Christmas baking you might be thinking about right now. 😉
