#275 - Rocky Road Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 package Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
4 dozen mini marshmallows

Melt 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, then cool slightly. Mix with remaining chocolate chips, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and nuts--stir by hand with a wooden spoon. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheet, press one marshmallow into center of each cookie. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, or until no imprint is left when touched. When removing from oven, allow them to cool 5-10 minutes before removing. Cool completely.
