Rolo Filled Brown Butter Cookies
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.

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 ....
yum, looks so delicious. Love rolos.
These look great!! I love rolos and was thinking about rolo brownies, now I may have changed my mind! 🙂
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!
Love the combination of brown butter and Rolos! The only difficulty would be saving the Rolos to actually get to make these cookies 🙂
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!
Those drippy awesome gooey caramel centers are calling to me!
a whole year without sweets? oh dear..it's like a lifetime punishment. lol..love your cookies.
The cookies look good.. 🙂 I still haven't discovered browned butter 🙂
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.
Never make resolutions involving desserts. They never work 🙂
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
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)

Holy cow, these look so good. Rolos are one of my favorite candies ever!! Have a great weekend!
