Description
Indulge in the decadent and gooey Rocky Road Chocolate Fudge Cookies, a delightful treat combining rich chocolate, walnuts, and marshmallows.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and mini marshmallows to ensure an even distribution.
- Using a tablespoon, drop generous portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet with space between each scoop.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then carefully remove and gently press mini marshmallows into the tops. Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly puffed.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate on top.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few more minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened, not melted.
- Use packed brown sugar for moisture.
- Chop walnuts or use pecans/almonds as a substitute.
- Drizzled chocolate can be adjusted to taste.
