Almond Roca Cookies




I found a new flavor of Almond Roca cookies this year Mocha Rocha, YUM. I thought they would be a really great ingredient in a cookie. I searched the web for Almond Roca Cookies recipes and the only ones I found did not actually have Almond Roca in them? what is the point!

I decided to go "Rogue", and make my own recipe! If you have a serious sweet tooth, these cookies are for you, they bake up thin and crisp and the flavor is outstanding! Seriously, bake some up today!

1 can Brown and Haley Mocha Roca (unwrapped)
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks butter)
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup regular sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375

Place your Roca in a freezer quart bag and beat it with a heavy bottom pan until they are broken up into bits (I was missing about 5 Roca's so I added some chocolate chips which would be optional if you had an entire can of Rocha's)

Place flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and mix well

Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla till creamy

Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well between each

Gradually beat in the flour mixture, till well combined

Add your Roca chips and chocolate morsels (if desired) into the batter and mix well

Place 1 scoop at a time (I use a small ice cream scoop), on a cookie sheet (use a silpat if you have it), and bake for 10 minutes, the cookies spread quite a bit, so I could only fit 6 on a pan

Remove from oven, let cool for 10 then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling

The cookies will firm up when totally cool

They look absolutely scrummy, Cheryl. I love the plate with the dragonfly too.

Also, you are one lucky lady to get that beautiful ring, my hubby gave me a fried egg sandwich for brekkers on Valentine's Day. ;-)

their most recent studio album Black Ice was another obvious inclusion due to the name likeness of the character

What about adding a little almond extract? It gives such a unique and gourmet flavor.

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case. Bola Tangkas Casino Sbobet

I love almond roca candies. I just bought a 42 oz tub from costco. Mmmmmmm, the taste of these candies remind me of the holidays. I wanted to try something new and different this year for christmas cookies and i found your blog. The recipe was simple, but very delicious. I tried the batter before baking and it was goooooood. I only used 10 candies and didnt crush it too much. I wanted to keep the integrity of the candy. I didnt add chocolate chips. I baked it for ten minutes exactly and it was perfect. Some of the cookies had caramel oozing from the sides (no complaints). I let it cool on the pan for a minute or 2 and then transferred it to parchment paper. They crisped up nicely. Very good recipe. Happy Holidays :)
