    Recipe Introduction


    Note: 1 pkg of Rolo candies has 48 in it. I buy 2 packages to
    allow for some being eaten during the baking process and because
    I can get more than 4 dozen cookies out of the dough.

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 cups flour
    3/4 cup cocoa
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 cup sugar
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 cup butter, softened
    2 tsp vanilla
    2 eggs
    1 cup pecans, finely chopped
    48 Rolo candies
    1 Tb sugar

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In small bowl, combine flour, cocoa,
    and baking soda. Mix well. In large bowl, beat the sugars and
    butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well.
    Add flour mixture; blend well. Stir in 1/2 cup of pecans. For
    each cookkie, with floured hands, shape about 1 Tb of dough around
    a Rolo, covering completely. In small bowl, combine rest of pecans
    and 1 Tb sugar. Press one side of each ball in pecan/sugar mixture.
    Place nut side up on ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake
    7 - 10 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Cool on cookie
    sheet 2 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire racks.
