It’s happened before…
I thought I was being semi-genius and tried a new recipe I never had seen before only to find out that others have tried it too. Don’t you hate when that happens? Well, I’ve decided it doesn’t matter because everyone makes a recipe in different ways, and although I thought this next creation was a Lil’ Luna original, it still is in my book, lol!!
One of our favorite family cookies is our Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies. They are so delish and easy to make. I decided I wanted to do a chocolate version and to mix things up I decided to add a Rolo to the middle – cuz, who doesn’t love ROLOS, right?! The end result was amazing!! I made them for a family function a few months back and they were a hit. They are now my younger brother’s favorite cookies, so he is always putting in a personal request for them. I call them: Ooey Gooey Chocolate Rolo Cookies…
They are quick and easy to make, which is the best part!!
Here’s the recipe:

Can you give us a hint to which printables they are?
Oh my gosh, these are great! I’ve been trying to come up with a chocolate rolo cookie, and this is a great recipe!
Love your blog. Just discovered it from the contest entry. New fan and can’t wait to browse through to discover some awesome finds here.
Love the Rolo recipe and want to make it for a cookie swap this weekend! Just wondering approximately how many cookies one recipe will make???
I made 16 from my batch, but the cookies were quite large.- not a bad thing though I liked how they turned out.
I made 38-40. I used just enough dough to cover the Rolo and they were perfect… making more now!
Just brought these to church and had none left to take back home. These are very good and people love the caramel bite in the middle.
So glad they were a hit! Hopefully the were easy to make too! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Think it would be alright to freeze half the dough? Otherwise, I will be FORCED to eat the WHOLE batch! 🙂
I love your website so much u are awesome and have amazing idea and recipes….
I made these over the weekend and they were soooooooooooo good
So glad you liked them, Mary. Thank you for stopping by! 😀
Did you use the full size Rolo’s or the minis? These sound totally delicious
I used Regular Rolos but minis would work as well. 😉
Just made the yellow cake cookies. Delicious! And so easy. Will be trying them in many different flavors and those chocolate Rolo ones looks delicious. Thank you for this yummy treat!
You are welcome! I’m so glad you liked them, Brenda!! I have made this cookie in so many cake mixes and they are all so delicious. 😉 Have a great week!
Sooooooooooooooooooooo good! I made them and they are the best thing I had ever made!
Thanks for the delicious recipes
You are so welcome!! Thank you for stopping by!
Hello Kristyn, thanks for your recipes. Could you please tell me if your okey.googey cookies are a wet cookie, I would love a crisp cookie I could make w/ a boxed cake mix. Appreciate any input. Rr
They are not a wet cookie. Just gooey 🙂 Thank you for checking my recipes out 🙂
I made these for our holiday cookie bake off at work and won the prize for most creative!! They were amazing!
Woohoo!! Glad you won! Thank you for sharing that!
I made these cookies because they sounded great, but I’d never actually had an ooey gooey cookie before. My husband took them to work and his co-workers are demanding more, they say they are the best cookies they’ve ever had! Thanks for sharing such a delicious recipe!
You are so welcome! I am glad to hear that!! Thank you for sharing 🙂
