Molasses Rolo Cookie Cups are packed full of holiday flavors! Rolled in sugar, stuffed with Rolos, and drizzled with white chocolate, these cookie cups are a deliciously unexpected combination!
Molasses cookies are one of those things that remind you of your grandma…..am I right?? At least for me, they do! I have my grandma’s recipe for them tucked away in my recipe box, and although I don’t make them very often, every time I do it just feels right.
Maybe it’s because I know how much my mom loves them – they’re the one kind of cookie she is sure to mention at Christmas time every year. Or maybe it’s the nostalgia factor – the knowledge that I’m making the same cookies my grandma for her family so many years ago. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s the fact that they’re DELICIOUS! Just sayin’…….
I’m always a sucker for winter spices like cinnamon and cloves and nutmeg…..and when you stick them in a cookie and turn the cookie into a cup, there’s really nothing better! Except, of course, if you add chocolate and caramel. Chocolate and caramel make everything better!
Yep, these delicious, old fashioned molasses cookies are stuffed with Rolo candies and topped with a white chocolate drizzle. These Molasses Rolo Cookie Cups are NOT your grandma’s molasses cookies….but they ARE amazing. Just in case you were tempted to overlook that recipe tucked away in your recipe box, think again! Because these babies just might become a new favorite.
