Chocolate Rolo Stuffed Cake mix Cookies

If you live in Muscat, you’ll notice that albeit fantastic, our grocery shops tend to be inconsistent with their products. If you see something you like, you have to move fast and stock up - otherwise you might not see it again for months! 

So there I was shopping in my favorite grocery store - Sultan Centre - looking for an interesting buy when I caught sight of something I had not seen in years: Rolo! I can’t remember the last time I saw it in stocked anywhere in Muscat. And better yet - on the clearance rack! Oh, thrift gods, yes! I picked up all the Rolo packets, grabbed a chocolate cake mix, and by the power vested in me & team fat cakes pronounced them the two main ingredients in my… Fat Cheats Series Part 1: The Chocolate Rolo stuffed Cake mix Cookie!

First confession: I love shortcuts. Call me lazy, but as much as I enjoy making things from scratch, I don’t always have the time to. So I’m always on the hunt for easy and fun recipes. Of course being the generous person that I am, I will share these with you. I know, I know. Shocks me too, sometimes!

If you’ve never had cake mix cookies I beg you to make these. They are ridiculously easy and good. Ever since I discovered them, the possibilities have been endless… So many cake mixes, so little time! And there's a Rolo in the middle, how can you lose? Now, go get your cake mix! GO!

 

Ingredients:

1 boxed chocolate cake mix 

2 eggs 

1/3 cup Vegetable oil 

2 rolls of Rolo   

Icing or granulated sugar (optional) 

Yields about 20 Medium Sized Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Mix cake mix, eggs, and oil together until blended. 

Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture, roll into a ball and flatten. Place one rolo in the center and bring all sides together. Roll dough into a ball, and viola! 

You can roll them in granulated or icing sugar if you'd like. I'm greedy so I did both.

Bake for about 8-12 minutes. Let cool on baking tray after taking them out for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Resist the urge to bite into these warm gooey bites straight out of the oven, they will burn a hole in your tongue. Trust me, I speak from experience!

Pop one into mouth, repeat.

Stay tuned for more Fat Cheats. Until next time, 

Have a sweet filled day!
