Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough into your hands. Split the dough in half, place a Rolo into one of the halves, and then top the Rolo with the other half of the cookie dough. Repeat with the rest of the dough (should be able to make 18 cookies).
Place the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before you transfer them over to a wire baking rack to finish cooling.
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
