Rocky Road Cookies

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup butterscotch morsels
1/2 cup milk chocolate morsels
1/2 to 3/4 cup miniature marshmallows

PREPARATION:
Put first 7 ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed until well blended, scraping bowl from time to time. Stir in nuts, raisins, butterscotch and chocolate morsels.

Grease large baking sheets; drop cookie dough by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 10 minutes.

Remove cookie sheets from oven; press 2 or 3 miniature marshmallows onto each cookie. Bake cookies 2 minutes longer, or until marshmallows are slightly melted and are sticking to the cookies.

Remove cookies to racks to cool completely. Store in tightly covered container for up to 1 week. Makes about 2 dozen Rocky Road Cookies.
