			Directions:
			Beat butter or margarine until creamy.  Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar;  beat well.  Add eggs and vanilla;  beat well.  
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda and cocoa.  Gradually add to butter mixture, beating well.  Stir in 1/2 cup nuts (optional).  
Cover and chill at least 2 hours.  
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F  
Combine remaining 1/2 cup nuts with the 1 tablespoon sugar (if using nuts).  Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.  Work with one part at a time, leaving the rest in the refrigerator.  Divide each part into 12 pieces.  Quickly press each piece of dough around a chocolate-covered caramel (Rolo).  Roll into ball.  Dip one side into sugar.  (Additional sugar may be needed for dipping if nuts are omitted.)
Place sugar side up 2- inches apart on baking sheets.  Bake for 8 minutes.  Let cool 1 minute.  Remove to wire rack and cool completely.
