Ingredients – Gather Up, Cookie Warriors!
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work great)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions – Let the Baking Begin!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper because we all know that cookies + clean-up can be a disaster!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. You want it so fluffy it might float away!
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract, and let the deliciousness take hold!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Now, it’s time to combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined – we’re not trying to whip up a tornado here!
- Fold in those chocolate chips, nuts, and marshmallows, making sure they’re evenly distributed. This is where the magic happens!
- Drop tablespoons of the cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them a couple of inches apart. Trust us; they will spread!
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. You want them to be soft and gooey in the center – that’s where the flavor lives!
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks. Try not to eat them all at once!
And there you have it! Your very own batch of Rocky Road Cookies. They’ll bring joy to your taste buds and a smile to your face. Now go on, share them with friends or keep them all for yourself – we won’t tell!
