I made these cookies with Pamela's All purpose gluten free flour. Out of 45 cookies baked on Friday, I have exactly 4 left on Tuesday. These are the most delicious cookies made with gluten free flour I have tasted yet. My family loved them as did my co-workers.

These cookies were amazing, especially when warm. I followed the recipe, with the exception of using butter instead of margarine. I found that I had to let the cookies cool at least 3 minutes before moving to the wire rack (it gave the caramel time to set) I will definitely be making these again! (updated) Several weeks later I needed a quick batch of cookies, so I followed the cookie recipe and used white chocolate chips instead of the rolo. I dropped the cookies by the spoonful on the cookie sheet and came out with another cookie that received rave reviews from the party.

One of my dad's friends made these for him a while ago. I was hoping these would be as good and it turnded out it was the same recipe! These are honestly one of the top three best cookies I have ever had. My dad absolutely loves these as well, and he doesn't even like chocolate much! I had no problem with the sweetness. They seemed to be as sweet as any average cookie to me, but I didn't roll them in sugar. I baked mine for 350 for 7-8 minutes for a softer, gooey cookie. My cookies may have been a little bigger, but I'm not positive but I think I only got about 36 cookies. I am making these a second time today. I know it's only been like two weeks since I made them last, but that's how good they are. I managed to revive some of my kindergarten counting skills and actually counted them this time- there were 44. So before I forgot how to count again I also counted the rolos in a bag ( do I need to get a life or what? ) so I thought I would let everyone know there are about 57 rolos in a 12 oz bag. Thank you sooo much!

Wow! These are just excellant. What a lovely cookie hard or soft. The flavour is nice, very rich, very chocolatey. Quick and easy to make. I didn't have time to chill the dough. The ones that cooked for 10 minutes are puffier, the soft ones that cooked for 7 minutes were flater. Either way they both tasted great. Thanks so much for sharing KC Cooker. A new family favourite.

I love this recipe. I switched out Mini Reese’s peanut butter cups instead of Rolos- amazing. I typically follow the recipe to a T except I leave off the rolled sugar at the end, it’s plenty sweet.

Thank you for posting this recipe. This cookie is a favorite of mine and my coworkers. I recently sold the cookbook that contained this recipe. Although I wrote it out, I found while baking them tonight that I was missing an ingredient and was hoping someone posted the recipe online. One difference in my recipe is that mine calls for 1 cup of chopped pecans (divided). Half of the pecans are put into the batter and the other half is mixed with 1 Tablespoon of sugar. This mixture is what the dough balls are dipped into before baking. (Sometimes I substitute chopped walnuts for pecans because I usually have those on hand.) Also, my recipe doesn't call for chilling the dough before baking, but I imagine that cuts down on the stickiness which will be a great help when rolling the dough around the Rolos. I will try that tonight! Unwrapping the Rolos is tedious, but definitely worth the effort!
