If you wanted to stop eating sweets or desserts as your New Years resolution, you should probably stop reading this.
Or maybe I should stop making them. I have already mentioned that my New Years resolution was to floss. Maybe it would help my teeth more if I stopped making these desserts.
But really, who am I kidding. That would be harder to do than flossing, and that has been my New Years resolution for 3 years already.
But, with the first two days of school done, I need something to look forward to when I get home. And these Rolo Filled Brown Butter Cookies really do the trick.
I have discovered browned butter when I made spaghetti a la homer, and from then I was hooked.
Blog surfing, I found so many wonderful recipes with browned butter in cookie form, and I couldn’t help but be intrigued. I needed to try this out.
And with a huge stash of rolo chocolates (how did these get in my house again? I thought I was trying to be healthier..) I needed to make something with them. You know, so I won’t be eating them all by myself.

Holy cow, these look so good. Rolos are one of my favorite candies ever!! Have a great weekend!
Um this must be some sort of crazy telepathic coincidence but I am actually eating rolos right now. I think it's a sign that I need to make these cookies!!
could there be anything better than rolo candies?! i think not! 😉
and stuffing them into a cookie was a great call coz all that candy oozing from your cookie is killing me (in a good way of course …lol)

Lucky for me I learned long ago that it was a waste of my time to make diet related resolutions…..it's a good thing too so I can say yes please to these cookies
Never make resolutions involving desserts. They never work 🙂
What a sweet surprise inside! Yeah, even though I have a diet-leaning resolution, it's more like "incorporate more vegan type food". Yeah, that's how that works.
The cookies look good.. 🙂 I still haven't discovered browned butter 🙂
a whole year without sweets? oh dear..it's like a lifetime punishment. lol..love your cookies.
Those drippy awesome gooey caramel centers are calling to me!
I guess it's ok for me to drool our your cookies which look so good since I made no resolutions to stop eating all those sinfully delicious desserts out there! Happy New Year!
Love the combination of brown butter and Rolos! The only difficulty would be saving the Rolos to actually get to make these cookies 🙂
Good thing I don`t make New Year Resolutions! And my gosh, you`re right…school is going to start for me. I should make some cookies so I can munch on them after the school day ends! I`m sure I can eat a dozen of these cookies after my first 2 days of school!
These look great!! I love rolos and was thinking about rolo brownies, now I may have changed my mind! 🙂
yum, looks so delicious. Love rolos.
I haven't baked cookies for ages ( exag , as usual 😀 )! And I don't do resolutions as well ! lol I love your rolo filled cookies esp with that whole wheat flour you've added ….
Mmh, these cookies look so tempting!
Bye,bye New years resolution 🙂
i've never heard of rolos but ooh, look at that oozing caramel! i hope to make some cookies for chinese new year!
Dear Lord, these sound amazing. Browned butter and gooey Rolo center? Screw those New Year's resolutions!
It's tough to resist desserts and sweets, isn't it? Not that I try all that hard. 😉 And I'd run towards these! What a terrific looking cookie! Really good stuff – thanks.
Mmmm browned butter makes everything better!
You had me at ROLO. So good! I would go crazy with these and eat them all 🙂
My jaw dropped and I had to search for it to put it back in place. I see a lot of ROLO recipes out there.. in cookies, cakes and cupcakes :). Now I see another one.. definitely good enough to convince me to get a packet of Nestle ROLOS and whip up something wicked. Btw, your cookies looks so chewy & that middle part oozing out with goodness! YUMMMMMmm!! This will be a hit with my bestie. Can't wait to share these with her. Thanks for coming over too. ♥, Jo
These look amazing. I love the idea of wrapping the rolos in cookie dough.
Oh if I only baked cookies…I might just have to start because these look so good!
Ooh, this looks good! Your cookies looks really yummy with the oozing rolo, not sure what that is, but have heard about it before! Will keep a lookout on my next grocery shopping!
I stopped making resolutions years ago! Makes me feel less guilty! 🙂
The texture of these cookies looks amazing!
Holy crap those look good.
I don't think I've ever seen cookies more appealing.
Good luck with all the food writing in the new year! X
Rolos were one of my favorite candies as a kid! These cookies are buttery and have an awesome surprise in the middle.
Me too! And I also love a good cookie with a surprise in it. Thanks Alison!! 🙂
These cookies look ace! Love all the caramel/toffee flavours coming from the brown butter, sugar and rolo’s. Can’t wait to try them!
Yay!! Let me know how it goes!
I am just drooling over this. I love things stuffed with rolos (I have a rolo brownie recipe that I love). These look so simple and I’ll bet they’re incredible!!
Ooh that sounds amazing! I’ve got to try rolo brownies
Omg that gooey filling just looks perfect
it’s so good!!
That gooey center with the Rolo is perfection! Great cookie that everyone always loves.
Yes!! These don’t last long in my house.
I want to make these as a new Christmas cookie (yes, I start now, lol). Have you tried to freeze these?
I have never tried freezing them, but I think that this would work!!
