Ingredients
Dry ingredients
3 cupsall-purpose flour
1 teaspoonbaking soda
1/2teaspoonsalt
Wet ingredients
2 1/2 cupspacked dark brown sugar
1/2 cupgranulated sugar
1cupbutter, softened
3large eggs
3 tablespoonsmilk
1 1/4 cupcreamy peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoonsvanilla extract
48Rolos, unwrapped
1/2cupgranulated sugar for rolling dough
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
On medium speed, in large bowl, blend sugars; add butter, mix till grainy consistency. Add eggs, milk, peanut butter and vanilla extract; and beat until fluffy. Slowly add flour mixture and beat on slow until well combined.
Place dough in refrigerator for 1 hour, or in the freezer for 30 minutes. The colder the dough, the easier it will be to work with. Take one heaping tablespoon of the dough and flatten out in the palm of your hand.
Place one unwrapped Rolo in the middle and work dough around so that the Rolo is completely hidden. Roll dough into a ball with your hands, then drop and roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned, about 15 to 18 minutes. Underbaking the cookies a bit results in a chewier cookies, baking longer will make them more crisp.
