Rolo Cookies

I always debate whether or not to post recipes that I didn't really like, but then always end up doing so because I want to remember what I didn't like about it.  Sometimes I even find ways to change it so that I do like it.  Besides, just because I didn't like it doesn't mean that someone else won't.  Anyway, this recipe looked beyond amazing.  I love cookies, chocolate, and Rolo's, so it seemed natural that I'd be a huge fan of these:


1 pkg. Rolo's
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.


I actually usually like cake mix cookies, but for some reason, these cookies just didn't do it for me.  I ended up thinking, "Dang, I just wasted a bunch of Rolos."  Sad.  Perhaps I'm just not a fan of Devil's Food cake mix cookies?  That was actually the part of the cookie I didn't like.  I actually think that if I had put the Rolos in regular chocolate chip cookie dough, (without the chocolate chips) I would have been a much bigger fan.  I won't be making these again using this specific recipe, but I do want to continue my hunt for some awesome Rolo cookies.
