Method
Mix the Dry Stuff
To start, take a medium-sized mixing bowl and sift together the flour and baking soda. Sifting helps remove any lumps and also adds a bit of air into the mixture, which makes the cookies softer and fluffier. Once sifted, set this dry mix aside. It’ll come in handy soon.
Cream the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, add the softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy. This step is super important because it helps incorporate air, which gives the cookies a lovely texture.
Add the Cocoa Magic
Now it’s time to make things chocolatey! Gradually mix in the cocoa powder. Add it slowly so it blends well with the wet mixture without clumping. This step transforms our cookie dough into a rich, brownie-like base full of chocolate flavor.
Combine It All
Take the dry flour mixture you set aside earlier and slowly add it into the wet batter. Mix it in a little at a time until everything is combined evenly. Be careful not to overmix here just stir until the dough comes together. Overmixing can make your cookies dense instead of soft.
Fold in the Crunchy Goodness
Once the dough is ready, gently fold in the Skor chipits (or toffee bits). Use a spatula or wooden spoon and mix just until the pieces are spread throughout the dough. This adds a sweet crunch that pairs perfectly with the soft, chocolatey cookie.
Stuff Those Cookies
Now for the fun part! Scoop out about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it gently in the palm of your hand. Take a Rollo candy and place it right in the center of the dough. Carefully fold the edges of the dough up around the Rollo and roll it into a smooth ball, making sure the candy is fully covered.
Get Ready to Bake
Place the cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each one to let them spread a bit as they bake. For an extra pop of texture and sweetness, sprinkle a few more Skor chips on top of each cookie before they go into the oven.
Bake and Wait (the Hardest Part!)
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 to 12 minutes. When they’re done, they’ll look slightly cracked on the top but still soft in the middle that’s perfect! Don’t rush to move them just yet. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They’ll continue to cook a little as they rest and firm up enough to handle without breaking or losing that delicious melted center.
