Rocky road cookies recipe

Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour 130g
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder 30g
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2g
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 1.5g
1/2 cup salted butter (softened) 113g
1/2 cup granulated white sugar 100g
1/4 cup packed brown sugar 45g
1 large room temperature egg 50-60g
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4g
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips * 90g
1/2 cup mini marshmallows (cut into pieces)* 30g
1/4 cup almond pieces * 30g

I used an additional 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips, marshmallows and almonds for the tops of the rocky road cookies. This step is optional!

Directions:

In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Whisk until well combined and set aside. In a large bowl combine softened butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Cream on low/medium low for 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and continue mixing for another 2 minutes or until the mixture is nice and light and airy.

Add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows and almonds. (Reserve 2 tablespoon of each for the tops of the cookies).
Cover and chill at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. If chilling overnight allow the dough to warm at room temperature for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop drop cookies onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Leave some room for spreading. Take the remaining chocolate chips, marshmallows and almond pieces and add a few to the top of each cookie. Bake for 9-9 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan for a few minutes and then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.

These rocky road cookies are the best when they're still a little warm, and the marshmallows and chocolate chips are still slightly melted. The dark cocoa adds a rich depth of chocolate flavour! If you have enjoyed this recipe consider subscribing for new easy recipes!
