Rolo Cookie Bites

Rolo cookie bites are quite possibly the EASIEST treats you’ll ever make!! They are made with only two ingredients and take about 15 minutes of your time from start to finish!

There is nothing like homemade chocolate chip cookies, but sometimes, keeping it simple trumps making it from scratch! These rolo cookie bites, along with Cake Mix Cookies, 10-Minute Sugar Cookies taste homemade, without all the fuss and chill times.

Once in a while, you discover a way to make that store-bought dough into something amazing, and this Rolo Cookie recipe does just that.

They’re made with store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough with a rolo stuffed in the middle. When they bake, the chocolate melts and the caramel center becomes ooey, gooey, and chewy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Made with just 2 ingredients. All you need is refrigerated cookie dough and a pack of Rolos!
• They’re little bite-size treats. I love adding them as part of an assorted dessert tray, but they’re also fun to add to the kid’s lunch boxes for school or to have them with a glass of milk for a snack.
• A surprise filling. Chewy, chocolate chip cookie bites are already fantastic, but the gooey caramel center makes them even better.

Ingredients Needed

• Refrigerated cookie dough: Pillsbury is probably the most popular, but use whichever brand is your favorite.
• Rolo’s candies: The hardest part of this entire recipe is unwrapping individual rolos. Unless, of course, you buy them already unwrapped. Then, you just need to worry about not eating them all!

How To Make Rolo Cookie Bites

Step 1: First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Like I mentioned before, I like to use store-bought cookie dough to make this easier. If you prefer homemade dough, then go ahead and whip that up. If you need a recommendation, here’s a great recipe.

Step 2: Take about a tablespoon of cookie dough and place it in each of the cups of the mini muffin pan. Gently press a piece of unwrapped Rolo candy into the top of each piece of dough.

Step 3: Cook the Rolo cookie bites in the oven for about 12 minutes. Let the cookie bites cool to room temperature before removing them from the pan. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For easy removal, run your knife around the edges of the cookie bites and they should pop right out.
• Regular or mini rolos will both work. If you find you need to make larger cookie dough balls in each cup, go ahead and use more.
• Swap the rolos for another chocolaty filling. Hershey’s kisses or Reese’s peanut butter cups are always fun options.
• Use a different kind of cookie dough. Chewy chocolate cookies would be just as delicious!
