Rolo Snickerdoodle Cookies

I am a sucker for all things sweet and salty. Why choose one when you can have both? These cookies have it ALL! They are made with browned butter, plenty of chocolate-covered caramel chunks, and pretzels pieces. Each cookie dough ball is rolled through cinnamon sugar for that classic snickerdoodle finish before baking to perfection. 

The difference… 

• The unsurpassable nutty flavor from browned butter!
• The Chocolate caramel goodness of Rolo® candy!
• The Crushed pretzels, slightly salty, crunch with every sweet bite!
• The mini marshmallows, caramelized toasty yumminess !
• The Cinnamon sugar, giving you the traditional snickerdoodle taste! 

What is browned butter?

Browning butter is very easy because all you’re doing is gently cooking butter. This melting method gently cooks the butter until it develops a nutty flavor and toasted aroma.

How do I brown butter?

Cut the butter into pieces and place in a pan over medium heat. Stir the butter as it melts. After the butter has completely melted, continue cooking on medium heat until the butter turns a light amber color and smells nutty. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a bowl.
