Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Cookies with Rolos

Each of these gluten free chocolate cookies has a Rolo baked into the center, giving them a gooey, caramel filling.

If you love Rolos and chocolate, then these are the perfect cookies for you! They need to be refrigerated for an hour before baking, but as long as you are patient enough to wait for that to happen, you will soon end up with some amazing, soft, chocolate brownie cookies. The Rolos really add a great dimension to these cookies, and you will love every chocolate-and-caramel bite.

Make sure when you use any ingredients to check them for yourself and see that they are truly gluten free. While I eat Rolos, you may not want to risk cross contamination.
