Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (softened)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 36 pieces Rolo candies (unwrapped)
• 36 pieces halved pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a Rolo candy in the center and wrap the dough around it to completely encase the candy. Roll the dough into a smooth ball.

Step 7

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 8

Press a halved pecan gently onto the top of each cookie, flattening the dough slightly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
