My college roommate, Mandy, would make these cookies all the time! They are so easy and sooooo good. Plus, they only have 4 ingredients!
1 box Devils Food Cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 c. oil
Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs. Take a small ball of dough and form a ball around the rolo. (Only use enough dough to cover the rolo so it can spread through the cookie.)
Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes. Yields about 3 dozen.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.

ReplyDeleteYup..these are a family favorite!
ReplyDeleteLove that center. ;-) So glad you linked this recipe at Joy of Desserts. Please link again soon.
ReplyDeleteOkay, how do you get them from being rock-hard once they cool? Is there a trick I didn't learn when I made them back at BYU & then gave up?
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks really good! It would be great if you came over to Cast Party Wednesday tomorrow and shared some of your recipes.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
I hope to see you there!

Sorry...for some reason the rest of my comment disappeared.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look amazing...I love that it's only 4 ingredients. YUM!
Awesome, pinning this!
ReplyDeleteI am fixing to make a batch of these. Would you mind if I put them on my website and link to you?
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly. I just made these--found them on Pinterest. They are *ridiculous*!! Will definitely make them again!!
ReplyDeleteThese were great! I kind of mashed mine down to make a little more cookie shaped. Also thinking about adding pecans next time!
ReplyDeleteFound these on Pinterest and had to make them! YUM... will make again. Thanks.
ReplyDeletefound these on pinterest and made them tonight. I LOVE that they are so easy but make it look like I did mega work to make them amazing. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOk... I found these on pinterest and attempted to make them for Halloween.... the dough was so sticky and I couldn't get it to roll into a ball or go around the rolo.... now I'm not the best in the kitchen but I can follow a recipe.... help :)
ReplyDeleteHey Kimber!
ReplyDeleteYou can put the dough in the fridge and it will set up a little better, or you can spray cooking spray on your hands so the dough doesn't stick. Hope this helps!
Thanks... I thought about that but was a little pressed for time... I will try them again when I have a little more time :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed these last night at a family dinner party - the hostess found the recipe on pinterest. I love that these cookies are chewy on the inside (the rollo surprise is an added bonus!) and who doesn't love a four-ingredient recipe?? Thanks for posting, these will be great (and stress-free) cookies to make for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI made these and they were super easy! The gang at the office loved them!
ReplyDeleteI found them on pinterest too. I used a small cookie scoop, filled with batter, pushed the rolo into it and folder the bottom edges over. Worked wonderfully and very easy. The girls at work loved them.
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW!! I just made these and they are phenomenal, so easy and cheap anyone can do it. You HAVE to sprinkle powdered sugar on top because it makes a world of a difference. These will be my go to cookie recipes from now on. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteFound these on Pinterest, made them for Thanksgiving... they were a HUGE hit! :) Will be making these from now on when I need a quick easy & delicious dessert! Thanks!
ReplyDeletejust made a batch - so easy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI also saw these on pinterest...They're absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for the great recipe!
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome! I am trying to make cookies ahead of time for Christmas.. Do these freeze well?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to freeze them but I'm sure it would be fine! I've also eaten them a few days after making them and they are still soft and moist. Good luck!
I would like to make these but I'm confused, how do they make 3 dozen out of 1 pkg of Rolos? Isn't one rolo per cookie? Sorry if it's a dumb question. Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Melisharpster,
ReplyDeleteIt is a bag of Rolos, rather than just a small package. Sorry for the confusion!
I'm not sure what I did wrong but the 'dough' was so thick it wouldn't let go of my fingers AND wouldn't stick to the Rolos. Thankfully, my really attentive and creative Dad suggested using a melon baller. I scooped a little less than a full scoop worth of dough, pressed a Rolo into the center and folded the excess dough over the bottom of the Rolo. They came out great! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI tried making these for Xmas cookies& my was like cake batter, I couldn't even form a ball & I also left it in the refrigerate to have it harden up!! I follow the recipe! But made a double batch! Tell me what I did wrong !?? It wasn't dough texture at all !! Help !! These look good
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! Just made them today. Great recipe, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I tried this recipe and then another batch using Trader Joe's Deep Dark Gingerbread Cake & Bread Mix and am in LOVE!! Spicy gingerbread, chocolate AND caramel....this was one of my TOP FIVE Pinterest finds!
ReplyDeleteGreat, quick and easy! My family loved them!
ReplyDeleteThese were perfect! They took me less than a half hour to bake and clean up :)
ReplyDeleteThese were awesome. Also for the one who's dough git stuck to fingers. Try rubbing your fingers on crisco. Think chap stick for your fingers. Or try flour. Not much of either.
ReplyDeleteLove these! Just made them and they turned out so great! I followed the instructions exactly and had no problem with the sticking except at the end when the dough was getting warmer and my fingers were getting stickier with dough. Would recommend these to anyone!
ReplyDeleteHello, my little sugar plum faeries! This recipe is fantastic and versatile.
ReplyDeleteToday I put a dab of peanut butter and marshmallow creme on each rolo, then sprinkled each cookie with a pinch of sea salt. Tres fantastique!! Much love. --Z
Made these for a family Christmas get-together and they were a hit! Moist, fudgy and oh so caramel-y! LOVED IT! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Will definitely try more
ReplyDeletei'm sorry, but can someone please tell me if I make the cake mix as directed on the box then add the extra eggs and oil? I always get confused.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous- no worries! Just completely IGNORE the directions on the cake mix box. Only use the eggs and oil that we call for in our recipe and they will turn out great. :)
ReplyDeletefound this on Pinterest, they turned out GREAT!! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI just made these tonight! Because of your warning about the Rolo wrappers, I enlisted my hubby and my brother to unwrap them while I made the COOKIE batter. I got no push back there!!! They were delicious!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Easy and tasty - just my kind of recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to make those soon...they look delicious.
ReplyDeleteMade these today for snacks at church for Sunday morning. They turned out wonderful!! Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteFound your amazing recipe on Pinterest and made them yesterday....WOW! I will be making them often. Thanks so much for sharing,
ReplyDeleteWorks better if you freeze the rolos first - it takes longer for them to melt.
ReplyDeleteOk I made these as directed, but my batter was SOOOO sticky I couldn't roll it for nothing. I wonder if it makes a difference what cake batter you get, I noticed I bought betty crocker devil's food cake mix super moist think that might be why it was so sticky? And when I baked them I baked them for the full 8mins let them cool because they fell apart and after they cooled the middle literally stuck to the pan while the edges pulled off- did I not cook them long enough?
ReplyDelete@Punky1787,
ReplyDeleteI've never had that problem. I would try letting the dough set up more in the fridge before cooking them. That might help the dough be less sticky. You can also spray your hands with cooking spray to making them easier to roll. Hope that helps!
These are the best cookies I make them pretty much every week for my husbands Marines and they eat them in about 5 minutes no joke. Also my son's teacher's got them for Valentines day added a peanut butter m&m on the top after I baked them and my husband liked them even more with the peanut butter chocolate M&M on top. Super easy and cheap to make since I bake something for his Marines every week. And I put mine in a plastic covered tupperware to keep from drying out even though they last maybe a day anyway they are too good to keep for longer! And reheat them if we have any left over before I eat them so I get warm caramel again!
ReplyDeleteI just made these with a box of brownie mix (it's what I had on hand) and they came out amazing!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be blog stocking and realize you have a "connection" to someone... the Mandy you were roommates with is my Sister-in-law. Miss her!
ReplyDeleteKendra!
DeleteIt is so good to hear from you! I totally knew who you were and that you were married to Golden when I saw you! I was just looking at your blog and can't believe how big your kids are now. I definitely miss Mandy, too. She was the best girlfriend I've ever had. Hope you are all doing well!
Love,
Elyse
Wow, these cookies are A-MA-ZING!!!! Just made them for a friend and I had to try one to be sure they were cooked well enough. :o) I am 32 weeks pregnant, so it's all I can do from eating them all!! However, I should have read the comments about the Crisco first. I did that for the 2nd batch and it took me about 3 minutes to make 13 of them! Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely be making these again!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!!! I literally just made these and they are BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile I was looking in the candy aisle for the bag of rolos I found a variety bag of rolos, miniature reese's peanut butter cups and hershey kisses so I decided I would try that and get a variety of cookies because I personally think the only thing better than chocolate and caramel is chocolate and peanut butter :) The pb cups and rolos turned out FANTASTIC and are dangerously delicious, and I'm sure the hershey kisses will be as well (I'm hoping it will be like a lava cookie type of thing) but those are just finishing in the oven, I just couldn't wait any longer to write a review about these :)
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. I just made them and am posting about your recipe (with a link and credit to you) on my blog! http://thecoppercoconut.blogspot.com/2012/08/rolo-cookies.html
ReplyDeleteI made these tonight but used a sugar free cake mix. BIG mistake! We threw them out, they were awful, I'll be getting a regular cake mix next time...!
ReplyDeleteI made these with carmel creams last week because rollos were outrageously expensive. They turned out awesome! Today I am going to try with rollos and check out the difference.
ReplyDeleteI made these and they SUPER easy and WONDERFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great recipes!!!
made these and they tasted good, looked good at first but then seemed a little oily...also put cookies in a tin and they all clumped together...maybe it was the oil I used?? store brand vegetable oil??
ReplyDeleteI made these tonight. I just sprayed a little cooking spray on my fingers and had do trouble with the dough sticking. I did have one little issue though...Once the cookies baked for about 6 minuets we took them out of the oven and let them cool on the pan for a minute or two. When we transferred them to a cooling rack, the caramel oozed out of the bottom of the cookie. We had to throw some away it was so bad. We were able to make exactly 3 dozen, so I know the size of hte cookies wasn't the problem.Did anyone else have this issue? Does anyone have a possible solution?
ReplyDeleteI made these today and had some difficulty. Sticking to the fingers, caramel oozing out of the bottom, sticking to the cookie sheet some even left the Rolo bbehind! went through three boxes of cake mix just to get 54 cookies that were decent enough for a cookie exchange. UGH! Tried spraying Pam on my fingers but that only worked for the next two I made then I had to spray again. Toward the end I took them off the cookie sheet very soon after removing from the oven and put them on wax paper -- that was already sprinkled with powdered sugar -- upside down so the caramel wouldn't stick to the wax paper. then sprinkled with powdered sugar on the bottom the was face up. The flavor was great, though. Really don't know if I'd try it again. Wonderful concept -- just not my lucky recipe!
ReplyDeleteSo good and easy to make@

ReplyDeleteI made these over the weekend. With the first sheet, I also had issues with caramel oozing out of the bottom. After that I put a sheet of wax paper on the cookie sheet and baked them directly on that. Then a few minutes after taking the cookie sheet out of the oven, I pulled the entire piece of wax paper with the cookies onto another tray (whatever you have that will fit, I used a flat plastic tray), and put it in the fridge. After about 15-20 minutes I took the sheet out and carefully took the cookies off. They stayed intact and looked perfect!! The trick to these cookies is simply not trying to move them when they are even remotely warm.
ReplyDeleteOh, also refrigerate the dough before baking and in between batches, and spray pam on your hands while forming the cookies. (Those tips I got from other responses here, thanks!!)
Great helpful hints! Hope this helps everyone!
DeleteThe cookies are AWESOME and very easy to make!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading all of the comments, I didn't see one that said after making the cookies they are flat and not like your pictures. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteHopefully you didn't make the box cake mix according to the package directions. It just calls for the mix in the recipe. There is a comment just a few above yours from Teresa that is helpful. Maybe refrigerating the dough. Some had better luck with some cake mix brands over others. Sorry this didn't turn out for you. -The Six Sisters
DeleteLove this recipe! I actually changed it up a bit and subbed unsweetened applesauce for oil, used 1 egg and mixed in mini rolos instead of the big ones because I kept losing the caramel too. This is such a great and simple recipe, thank you for sharing! Can't wait to make it again and mix in some pecans :)
ReplyDeleteForget to mention that I linked back to you with this recipe on my blog www.food-lovin-momma.com in my Healthier Cookies post and have gotten great responses! Thanks again for the delicious recipe!
DeleteI made these, and they were so simple! My brothers and I loved them!
