Rolo Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies are soft, chewy peanut butter cookies with a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate and caramel center.
These Rolo cookies happen when you stuff the best peanut butter cookies with chocolate caramel candy. Every bite has melted chocolate and gooey caramel.
There are peanut butter cookies and ROLO cookies. Let me say that the chocolate caramel candy stuffed in each cookie gives them a serious upgrade!
The peanut butter cookie recipe I use for these Rolo Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies is the best. They’re soft, chewy, and have just the right amount of peanut butter. I could only think of one thing that would make these better: a chocolate and caramel center.
Recipe Inspiration
A friend brought over a plate of cookie goodness, and there were peanut butter cookies with a dark chocolate center—holy yum! But my family doesn’t really like dark chocolate, so I had to eat them all.
I loved the idea of stuffing a peanut butter cookie with chocolate, so I made this new recipe using my friend’s cookies as inspiration. These Rolo cookies are kind of like Peanut Butter Blossoms but inside out.
Ingredients
- Creamy peanut butter
- Softened butter
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Large eggs
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Rolo chocolate candies
Recipe Tips
How do you stuff peanut butter cookies?
Fill a cookie dough scoop about halfway with the dough. Press 1 Rolo into the center, then fill the scoop with more dough to cover the Rolo. Place on the cookie sheet.
Using a fork, press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten and create a criss-cross pattern.
Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Bake the cookies, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, and then transfer them to a wire rack.
I love cookies, especially ones that are shared with family and friends! I’ll be making a batch of these peanut butter cookies to share with my friend’s family – I hope you make a batch to share, too.

Should this be a teaspoon of vanilla instead of a tablespoon? All the other peanut butter recipes I see call for teaspoon.
I use a tablespoon; but you can adjust to a teaspoon if you would like.
Amazingly delicious and quick easy recipe. Thank you.
Well, I love Rolos and I love peanut butter so no surprise, I loved these rolo cookies! Yum. Thanks for the great recipe!
