 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/2  c             Flour
    3/4  c             Cocoa
  1      ts            Baking soda
  1      c             Sugar
  1      c             Brown sugar
  1      c             Butter -- softened
  2      ts            Vanilla
  2                    Eggs
  1      c             Pecans -- finely chopped
 48                    Rolo candies (1 pkg)
  1      tb            Sugar

Preheat oven to 375 F. In small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and
baking soda. Mix well. In large bowl, beat the sugars and butter
until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour
mixture; blend well. Stir in 1/2 cup of pecans.

For each cookie, with floured hands, shape about 1 tb of dough around
a Rolo, covering completely.

In small bowl, combine rest of pecans and 1 tb sugar. Press one side
of each ball in pecan/sugar mixture. Place nut side up on ungreased
cookie sheet, 2" apart. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until set and
slightly cracked. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes, then remove and
cool completely on wire racks.

Notes:

I buy 2 packages of Rolos to allow for some being eaten during the
baking process and because I can get more than 48 cookies out of the
dough.
