I love Rolo candies and I absolutely think chocolate should be a food group. Cookies are the perfect after dinner treat and having something that combines both chocolate and caramel in a cookie is heaven to me.
This gives the best of both worlds in a delightful cookie that is perfect for home consumption and pretty enough for gift giving at Christmas time. Christmas cookies make wonderful gifts when placed in a reusable tin or tub and given to friends and neighbors. Make sure that these little gems are part of your gift and you’ll get rave reviews..
