It was the day before Mother's Day and I was at the grocery store. I knew I needed to bring a dessert to my sister's the next day but really wasn't in the mood to do much hard work. At the last minute I decided to just forget it, go to the bakery and get a cake, taking the easy route out. However when I was on line to pay I saw a pack of Rolo candies and was inspired. I grabbed 5 rolls and figured I'd come up with something when I got home. I really had no plan and was just kind of digging through my pantry to make anything with what I had!
If you tasted these cookies you'd never know they were an afterthought. Honestly, they were delicious. TOO delicious. I had to leave the extra cookies with my sister because I knew I could not be trusted with these beauties. These take very little effort but the payout is immense. I highly suggest you try them!
