Rocky Road Cookies


The Rocky Road Cookies Recipe is a gorgeous cookies are topped with chunky chocolate and melted marshmallows. The chunky and smooth textures are a perfect combination—yum!

Rocky Road Cookies
Ingredients:
4 oz (125 g) butter (softened)
3/4 cup (125 g) soft brown sugar
1 medium egg (beaten)
2 oz (50 g) milk chocolate (chopped)
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cocoa powd
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 oz (50 g) white chocolate (chopped)
1/2 cup (25 g) mini marshmallows


Preheat the oven to 375°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Use an electric mixer or whisk to cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl.


Beat in the egg and milk. Then stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and half the chunks of milk and white chocolate using a metal spoon.


Place spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well apart. Flatten slightly and bake for 5 minutes, until the edges are starting to get firm.


Remove the cookies from the oven. Immediately sprinkle them with the marshmallows and remaining chocolate chunks, pressing them down into the cookies.


Return the cookies to the oven for a further 5–6 minutes or until slightly soft to the touch. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Variation:
Experiment with different flavored chocolate chunks. Or try heart-shaped marshmallows for a Valentine’s Day treat!
