Yes, I would definitely make this recipe again!

Definitely add the 3/4 cup of cocoa to the dry mixture - no need to flatten the cookies - just make sure they are far enough apart (I was able to make 10 on a standard cookie sheet without them running into each other). My husband loves Rolos, and he found the recipe - I made them and they were FANTASTIC - I don't even like caramel all that much but they were so good! I didn't use the nuts because my husband and sons aren't big fans of nutty cookies, but I may make a few with almonds for myself next time - yummy :-) five stars

The reason this isn't turning out for you people is because it isn't the true recipe. five stars

To those of you who are commenting on your cookies spreading out too much -
more than likely, your butter was too soft when you began mixing the dough. five stars
