Rolo Stuffed Snickerdoodles

One of my friends was asking about Rolo stuffed cookies.  I had made them before & gave her a link to someone who had blogged the recipe.  Then I got to thinking of doing my own Rolo stuffed cookie, but instead of the traditional chocolate cake mix cookie, I would do a Rolo stuffed snickerdoodle.  I am on a caramel kick & that sounded wonderful to me.  So here they are!  And they are amazing!  

Rollo Stuffed Snickerdoodles

Recipe by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp flour
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 24 Rolo Chocolates, unwrapped
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon

1. In a stand mixer, cream butter with 3/4 cup sugar.  Add egg & vanilla & mix thoroughly.  
2. Add flour, cream of tartar, salt & baking soda.  Mix until incorporated.
3. In a separate small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp sugar with 3/4 tsp cinnamon.  Set aside.
4. Scoop some cookie batter, squish a Rolo in the center, pinch & smooth any seams by rolling the dough in your hands, hiding the rolo in the middle.  Then roll cookie ball into cinnamon sugar mixture.  (I use a #50 cookie scoop.)  Place on a greased cookie sheet & repeat for all cookies.
5. Bake at 325*F for 12-13 minutes.  Makes 2 dozen small cookies.
