After Halloween was over all I had left were Tootsie Rolls. I don't understand why kids don't like them because I think they're awesome, but that doesn't matter. So, one day I thought of putting Tootsie Rolls in my sugar cookie dough and they ended up tasting just like a chocolate chip cookie!
This recipe yields about 3 dozen cookies.
Step 1: Crush the Tootsie Rolls
Take your Tootsie Rolls and fill resealable bags with them. (Make sure the wrapper is still on, because they will come off when you crush them.) Keep them in the freezer over night so that the Tootsie Rolls are rock hard. The next day, take the Tootsie Rolls out of the bag and crush them with a hammer, a frying pan, or whatever else you have laying around that could shatter the Tootsie Rolls. The pieces should be no bigger than the size of a chocolate chunk. Gather the shattered pieces and put them in a bowl. Repeat this until you have approximately 2 cups of Tootsie Roll pieces. Make sure all of the wrapper comes off the Tootsie Roll. If there is still a wrapper on it, obviously, you should take it off and through it away. Keep the shattered Tootsie Roll pieces in the freezer while you make the cookie dough, otherwise they will get really sticky.
