Rolo Cookies

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
48 Rolo candies
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda. Blend well.

In a large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs; beat well. Blend in flour mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup of the pecans. For each cookie, with floured hands, shape about 1 tablespoon dough around 1 Rolo candy, covering it completely.
