Ingredients
- 1 c. butter, softened
- 1 c. plus 1 T. sugar, divided
- 1 c. packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 t. vanilla extract
- 2 ½ c. all-purpose flour
- ¾ c. baking cocoa
- 1 t. baking soda
- 1 ¼ c. chopped pecans, divided
- 1 package (13 oz.) Rolo candies, unwrapped
- 4 squares (1 oz. each) white baking chocolate, melted
Preparation
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, 1 c. sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in ½ c. pecans.
Shape a tablespoonful of dough around each candy, forming a ball. In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar and pecans; dip each cookie halfway. Place nut side up 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes or until tops are slightly cracked. Cool for 3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Drizzle with melted white chocolate. Yield: about 5 dozen.
