Rolos Peanut Butter Cookies by Pam!! Congratulations Pam! You have a $10 Walmart gift card coming your way.

Here’s the winning recipe for Rolos Peanut Butter Cookies

1 package of peanut butter cookie dough
1 package of Rolos
Sugar to roll the cookies in
Open the pack of peanut butter cookie dough. Tear off a chunk and roll a Rolo into the middle of it. Roll the ball into sugar and bake at 350*, until lightly browned. About 10 minutes for us.

This cookie won because of its simplicity, taste and the ability to work as an everyday cookie or a holiday cookie. The kids made this 100% by themselves. The only thing I did was preheat the oven for them. They both had a blast making these and rolling the Rolos in the dough and rolling the dough in sugar. We decided that when we make our Santa cookies, we’ll roll these in red and green sugars instead of white.

Even though Pam’s cookie won, all the cookies were delicious. The super simple peanut butter cookie with the chocolate star in the middle was our runner-up. The kids had a really hard time deciding between the two, and fighting over who got the last bite. If you love peanut butter, then the super simple peanut butter cookie is for you.

The chocolate chip, peanut butter, and sugar cookie recipes are all traditional favorites of ours, and we enjoyed trying each recipe. We have the leftovers frozen to make our Santa cookies with. The no-bake cookie reminded my son of a Snicker’s for some reason, and he gobbled lots of those down.

The oatmeal chocolate chip cookie was a hearty cookie, and will probably become a new holiday favorite for gift giving. The reindeer chow was fun and simple to make, but we had quite a discussion on whether or not it could be called a cookie. In the end we decided it was a different form of cookie and my daughter shared them with her playgroup yesterday at their Christmas party. The snowball cookies went fast, and that was largely due to me and my husband fighting over them. The kids tried them, but they had a little trouble getting won over because of the nuts. They loved rolling them in powdered sugar though.

The last three entries are posted on yesterday’s blog. So if you missed seeing your cookie, check the blog from yesterday. Thanks everyone for entering the christmas cookie contest. We had a lot of fun baking and trying all the cookies. It’s always a pleasure when I can get my son into the kitchen for more than just eating. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
