Rolo Stuffed Oatmeal Cookies {Back-to-School Printable}

Would it surprise any of you to hear that I was a major goody-goody teacher's pet in school?

I was the wannabe hall monitor.

I once got in trouble for reading in class. Not reading a passed note. Reading a novel. In the fifth grade.

Even though my mom will say I was a terrible teenager, all surly and teenagey, I was a goody-goody even then.

I never snuck out of my house.

I never cut class.

I did other things that shall remain untold. {Hi Mom!} But, in all truthfulness, I was a good girl.

The teacher's favorite. The one they could always count on to be on time, have her assignment, and not cheat. {There was, in fact, unbeknownst to me, a cheating ring in my sophomore history class that extended from the person behind me copying from my quizzes that wrapped all the way around the room so that the kid in the farthest corner had my answers on his paper.}

So would it surprise you then to know that, as much as I really do love being the Hospitality Committee chairperson and as much as I love doing things for the teachers at Jordan's school, I want them to like me.

And to me like is done through kindness, aka food. Or, in my universe, dessert.

When I stuffed Rolos inside of peanut butter cookies it was such a huge hit that I knew I had to do it again. Again, stuffing Rolos inside of cookies isn't new. I'm not the first to do it and I won't be the last. But today I'm sharing with you new-to-me Rolos stuffed inside of oatmeal cookies.

I love oatmeal cookies. Almost more than any other kind. {Shhh...you won't tell peanut butter, right?}

These cookies are for the teachers next week. I'm going to put them in their boxes on the first day of school.

{Pssst...they freeze reeealllly well.}

And because I want them to like me a lot, I made tags for the bags. These are "smart cookie" cookies.

Want the tags? So you can make some cookies for your kids' teachers?

Now you can be the most popular too. Dessert = Like. It's just the truth.
