 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.
