2 ½ c flour

2 eggs

¾ c cocoa

1 c chopped pecans

1 t soda

48 Rolos, unwrapped

1 c sugar

1 c packed brown sugar

1 c butter

1 T sugar

2 t. vanilla

4 oz. white chocolate

Heat oven to 375. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; blend well. In a large bowl, beat sugars and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour mixture and blend well. Stir in ½ cup of the pecans. For each cookie, flour hands and shape about 1 tablespoon of dough around one Rolo, covering completely.

In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon sugar with remaining pecans. Press one side of each ball into the pecan mixture. Place the balls two inches apart, nut side up, onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 7 to 10 minutes, or until set and slightly cracked. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet, then remove cookies to a wire rack. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, melt white chocolate in a small saucepan on low heat, stirring constantly. Drizzle over cooled cookies on wire racks. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
