Rocky Road Cookies

 This is another new cookie for 2025.  It has all the flavors of rocky road ice cream.  I will admit I was concerned about freezing the marshmallows but they did fine.  There's a lot of ingredients but they are worth it. 

These are so good warm and fresh from the oven. 

Sometimes you have to look for the mini marshmallows. 

Start with 2 sticks softened butter

Add 3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar.  Mix that well.  It should be a light yellow color. 

2 large eggs

Now the recipe calls for 1 1/2 teaspoon corn syrup.  I did not have any corn syrup and did not want to buy some for such a small amount.  So I headed to Google to find out what can be substituted; honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, and golden syrup call all be substituted.  Also you can make your own 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup warm water.  So I had honey and I used that.

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt.  Mix all these things together.

1/2 cup special dark cocoa powder.  If you don't have that use the cocoa you have.  Mix well. 

2 1/3 cups all purpose flour.  Add a little at a time, mix between adding. 

Add 12 oz chocolate chunks.  This can be chips, mini chips, chunks whatever you like or have. 

1 cup ChocoMaker mini marshmallows. I don't suggest using the big ones.

This is what the marshmallows come in.  I found these at Walmart.

1 cup chopped walnuts.  You can use pecans if that is what you have. 

Shop them fine. 

Add all these goodies and mix well. 

It will be a stiff dough. I put it in the fridge for a little while before scooping.  It makes scooping a little bit easier. 

I used my new small scoop so the mini chips work better.  Scoop on a parchment lined cookie sheet.  Preheat oven to 375.  Bake for 6-8 minutes.  These are small cookies so I started with 6 and watched them.  You don't want them to over bake.  

Enjoy them while they are hot.  You will thank me for that.  There's a whole lot of goodness in these little bites.
