Rolo Cookies

Rolo Cookies
yeilds 9 dozen

1 cup shortening (i didn't have any so I used margerine instead)
half a cup butter softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract
4 and 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1.5 teaspoons of baking soda
1/8 teaspoons of salt
rolos( I think i ended up using about 4 rolls of rolos. don't use the bag of mini rolo's that you can buy it just doens't give it the same chewyness inside. i had a hard time finding rolos, i found them at zellers but had to use jumbo rolo's for half the batch which i cut thoes ones in half!)

In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.

Roll into 1.5 inch balls. Push a roll into the middle and then roll in yoru hand again to make sure the their is no rolo showing.

Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and surface cracks. remove to wire wrack for cooling.
