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 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
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!
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!! 🙂
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
The texture of these cookies looks amazing!
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! 🙂
Oh if I only baked cookies...I might just have to start because these look so good!
These look amazing. I love the idea of wrapping the rolos in cookie dough.
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
You had me at ROLO. So good! I would go crazy with these and eat them all 🙂
Mmmm browned butter makes everything better!
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.
Dear Lord, these sound amazing. Browned butter and gooey Rolo center? Screw those New Year's resolutions!
i've never heard of rolos but ooh, look at that oozing caramel! i hope to make some cookies for chinese new year!
Mmh, these cookies look so tempting!
Bye,bye New years resolution 🙂
