Chocolate Rolo Cookies

These cookies come from a Pillsbury bake off recipe, but my very first encounter with these chewy and carmelly(my own word) cookie of goodness was when the lady I babysat for brought me a plate for Christmas.  I will admit, I thought I died and went to Heaven! Ok so I just had to have the recipe and actually found it in the Pillsbury cook off book- the rest is history, and now it's always on my Christmas must make list!  As a matter of fact, this year my 9 year old was begging me to give them to all her friends and her teacher, good thing I made a double batch, and bought the box of Rolos at Costco!  Enjoy!
