Super soft and thick peanut butter cookies stuffed with gooey caramel. These cookies are irresistible!
Coming as no surprise to you, I’d like to share the fact that I seriously love baking cookies. Similar to rice krispie treats, cookies are a buttery blank canvas for a variety of flavors, add-ins, and varieties. There are so many options! Chocolate chips, marshmallows, coconut, raisins, nuts, candy bars, butterscotch, you name it. Soft, chewy, thick, crispy, covered in frosting or rolled in sprinkles.
But most importantly, they can be full of peanut butter and stuffed with Rolos. Because… umm… why not?
With my love of peanut butter cookies and a bag of Rolos sitting in the pantry, I knew I only had one choice.
The directions to make these cookies are pretty straightforward. Scoop 1.5 tbsp of peanut butter dough. Split in half. Stick a rolo on the bottom half, kind of like a “cradle” as shown:
Top the cradled Rolo with some more peanut butter dough and you’ve got yourself one monster cookie dough ball with a sweet caramel surprise hidden inside.
You’re going to go nuts for these cookies. The first bite, warm out of the oven, with melty chocolate and gooey caramel is simply irresistible.

Ingredients You’ll Need
Instructions
- In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or stand alone mixer, cream the butter and sugars together. Stir in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla (in that order). Slowly mix in the baking soda and flour. Do not overmix. Cover and chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours and up to 3 days.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Take a 1.5 Tablespoon scoop of the chilled dough and split in half. Stick a Rolo on the bottom half, kind of like a “cradle” as shown above. Top the Rolo with the other half of the scooped dough and seal down the sides so that the Rolo is securely stuffed inside. Repeat with the rest of the dough and all 24 Rolos. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Store at room temperature for up to 7 days.
