What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Hen’s egg + egg yolk- These act as binders, and the extra yolk brings extra fat, resulting in a very chewy biscuit.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder- This will make the biscuits extra chocolaty. Use unsweetened because these Rolo Biscuits are sweet enough already.
- Butter- Use unsalted butter and allow it to come to room temperature for the best chewy texture.
- Rolos- Unwrap these delectable chocolates filled with caramel for the biscuit centers.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Make them gluten-free- Substitute the flour with all-purpose gluten-free baking flour, 1:1, for a gluten-free version of these biscuits.
- Use premade biscuit dough- Save time by placing a rolo in the center of refrigerated biscuit dough that has been rolled into a ball and bake.
- Add mint- Transform these Rolo Biscuits into chocolate mint by adding a little mint extract.
- Substitute other candies- Instead of Rolos, make them with mini Snickers, mini Reese’s, or Hershey’s Kisses.
How to Make Rolo Biscuits
- Blend the butter and sugars together. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use an electric hand mixer to thoroughly mix everything on medium-high speed.
- Introduce the other wet ingredients. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Pro Tip: Start combining the dry ingredients on low speed to prevent them from scattering everywhere.
- Sift in the dry ingredients. Using a fine-mesh sieve, sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together.
- Scoop the dough. Use a medium-sized biscuit scoop to create and roll balls of the biscuit dough.
- Introduce the Rolo. Press an unwrapped Rolo candy into the center and evenly mold the chocolate biscuit dough around it.
- Sprinkle with sugar. Roll the candy-stuffed biscuit ball in a bowl of sugar.
- Bake. Place the prepared biscuit dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Sift the dry ingredients- This ensures thorough mixing of the dry ingredients and eliminates any clumps that could dry out your biscuits.
- Wrap the dough around the candy evenly- Ensure that the biscuit dough is evenly wrapped around the Rolo candy to prevent it from melting and seeping out the sides.
- Roll the dough into a ball- These biscuits will flatten quite a bit, so it’s important to bake them as candy-filled dough balls.
Rolo Biscuits are sweet and rich, made of chewy chocolate biscuit and sticky caramel. Here’s how to make them.
Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving since the caramel could be quite hot.
**FAQs**
**Do you need baking soda for cookies?**
While you can make biscuits without it, baking soda is a leavening agent that gives biscuits fluffiness. These Rolo Biscuits spread, but they also rise just enough to give them a cushion to wrap around the candy.
**What is the key to chewy biscuits?**
Chewy biscuits are made when there is the right proportion of wet and dry ingredients, as well as enough fat. In this recipe for Rolo biscuits, we add an extra egg yolk to give the dough the necessary fat to create chewy, moist biscuits.
