    Chilling the Dough for Rolo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • When ready to bake, take the dough out to soften for about 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
  • Roll the dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls. Press a Rolo into the center of each ball, covering completely with dough.
