Rolo Cookies

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
48 Rolo candies
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 ounces white chocolate

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda. Blend well.

In a large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs; beat well. Blend in flour mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup of the pecans. For each cookie, with floured hands, shape about 1 tablespoon dough around 1 Rolo candy, covering it completely.

In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup nuts and 1 tablespoon sugar. Press one side of each ball into pecan mixture. Place nut side up, 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 7 to 10 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Remove and cool.

Melt white chocolate in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Drizzle over top of cookies when melted.
