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.

Stir in the chocolate chips and hazelnuts.
