Why You'll Love This Recipe
- If you're a big fan of crumbl these are for you!!!
- Warm oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and melted caramel! You just cannot go wrong here!
- Make this rolo cookie recipe as large or small cookies!
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Chocolate Chips - These must be the ghirardelli brand specifically. They have a slightly different flavor then regular milk chocolate chips. You can sub regular ones if you want but the taste isn't quite the same.
- Rolos - If you're having trouble finding rolos (I seriously did) you can substitute the caramel filled hershey kisses instead. They are stickier but will work.
- Butter - I used salted butter. If using unsalted butter add an additional ½ teaspoon of Salt to the recipe.
- Flour - All purpose flour, never self rising flour.
- Oatmeal - This recipe uses quick cooking oatmeal. This is not instant oatmeal. If all you have are rolled oats or old fashioned oatmeal then you can pulse them in a food processor or blender until they are small like quick oats.
A Couple Things You'll Need
How to Make
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut the rolos in half and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter with the brown sugar.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract mixing well at a medium speed.
- Add the baking powder, salt and the oatmeal. Mix well.
- Add half the flour.
- Add the chocolate chips.
- Add the last half of flour mixing well.
- Scoop the cookie dough with a #40 cookie scoop in heaping scoops onto a prepared baking sheet for smaller cookies.
- You should get 12 to a pan.
- For large cookies, scoop the dough out by ⅓ cupfuls and place 6 of this size cookie ball on the prepared baking sheet.
- With lightly floured hands rolls each dough glob into a ball. The small cookie dough balls should be slightly bigger than a golf ball. The large ones are baseball size.
- Bake cookies at 350 degrees.
- Small cookies 10 minutes, remove from oven an lightly press 3 rolo halves on the tops. Return to the oven for 2 minutes.
- Large cookies bake 12 minutes, removed from oven and lightly press 5 rolo halves on the tops. Return to oven for 2 minutes.
- FYI: If you add the rolos before mostly baking the cookies the rolos will melt all over and the gooey caramel centers burn.
- Allow baked cookies to cool 5 minutes before drizzling caramel sauce on the tops.
- I highly recommend eating some of these warm. They're good well they're cooled too but the warm ones are the best!
- Cool completely before packing in an airtight container and store at room temperature. I cooled mine right on the pan instead of a cooling rack.
- You can reheat the cookies in the microwave for 10 seconds or so to enjoy these warm again!
Recipe FAQs
Adding the rolos before the cookies are mostly baked causes the rolos to melt out of the cookies and the caramel centers burn. We just want them in the oven long enough to get melty.
