Ooey Gooey Rocky Road Cookies Recipes

ROCKY ROAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup of the chocolate morsels and the butter. Heat in the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir and then heat for another 15 seconds. Stir. If the chocolate is mostly melted do not heat again. (If the chocolate seizes or hardens a bit it is okay.) Set aside.
• While the chocolate is cooling, add sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla to a large bowl. Whisk well until they are completely incorporated, light, and airy.
• Add the slightly warm chocolate to the egg mixture and whisk continuously until fully combined and smooth.
• Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to incorporate, but don't over mix. The mixture should be very loose, just like a brownie mix.
• Stir in the remaining 1½ cups of the chocolate chunks and the almonds, reserving a little of each to press into the tops of the cookies, if desired.
• Set the cookie dough in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• When ready, using a 3 tablespoon scoop, scoop the cookie dough and place each cookie 2 inches apart on the lined baking sheets.
• Top with reserved chocolate chunks, almonds, and mini marshmallows, pressing down slightly. This will give the cookies that 'rocky road' look. (Note: When adding the marshmallows, try to keep them in the middle of the cookie dough ball.)
• Bake for 13-15 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

• 2. To toast almonds, heat oven to 350 and place almonds on foil lined baking sheet and bake until golden, about 10 minutes

• 4. In a large bowl sift powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk in salt.
• 5. Add egg whites and vanilla and whisk until combined and batter is smooth.
• 6. Stir in chocolate chips and almonds.
• 7. Using a medium size cookie scoop (1/2 Tablespoon size), portion out 12 cookies on each baking sheet.
• 8. Place 4-5 marshmallows on top of each cookie. You might be wondering why we don't just mix the marshmallows into the batter, and the reason is they sort of melt and disappear that way.
• 9. Place the baking sheets in the freezer for 5 minutes (or fridge for 10-15 minutes) to chill cookies to prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
• 10. Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes.
• 11. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for at least 5 minutes and then transfer cookies to wire rack to finish cooling.
