Northwest Rocky Road Cookie Sandwiches

February 10, 2013 · by Carrie Trax ·

2013.02.09@13.46.18Chocolate Chip Cookie + Marshmallow + Hazelnuts = Love on the Mountain in Oregon this Valentine’s Day.  I added some chopped hazelnuts to my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and sandwiched it with a fluffy marshmallow cream filling. This version of rocky road cookies gets that Fresh From Oregon taste with the Oregon grown hazelnuts I added.  If you do not have any hazelnuts you can use walnuts or almonds they will work just as well.

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup plus 2 tablespoon Bob’s Red Mill white flour
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line 2 baking sheet with silicone pad or parchment paper.  In the bowl of a mixer cream the butter and brown sugar until fluffy, about 5 minutes.  Beat in the egg and vanilla.  In medium bowl mix baking powder, baking soda and flour.  Add to the butter mixture combine until mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips and hazelnuts.
