Chocolate Cake Rolo Cookies

Yum. These were pretty yumtastic. I will tweak a few things next time I make them, but for the first time these cookies were pretty darn good. I usually make a recipe the first time following the recipe pretty close, then, I make notes on my recipe card (or mental notes) for what I would add or take out next time.

My sweet is really good at dreaming up creative desserts. But, this one was me! Actually, I saw a post on eighteen25's blog with a link to something similar. The thing was, it called for a box of devil's food cake mix. I like to bake from scratch, so my sweet and I set out to find a recipe for devil's food cake mix from scratch. He on the computer and I on the iPad.... it was like a race! We both found one at about the same time... here's the link to the one we ended up going with: http://bakingdom.com/2011/05/homemade-devils-food-cookies.html. I only used the cookie part of the recipe. After we dropped the dough by tablespoons, my sweet added 2 rolos to each cookie. Actually, the first batch was only 1 rolo, but these suckers got huge. So huge, that another rolo was necessary!

Here's some proof:

Love my Martha Stewart Blue Kitchenaid!
My man in action... such a cute helper!

First batch with only 1 rolo in each...

And then they turned HUGE!

This was after editing... What do you think Chan?
She gave me a site where you can edit your pics for free!
It's pixlr.com if anyone else needs it!
