How to make Easy Rocky Road Cookies!

I can’t wait for you to try these Easy Rocky Road Cookies! SO delicious and truly a favorite of mine! YUMMY!

Butter, sugar, and brown sugar in bowl

Start with preheating your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar to a bowl and mix well.

Egg being added to bowl

Next, add in your eggs and vanilla.

Flour and chocolate pudding added to bowl

Mix in your dry ingredients (flour, chocolate instant pudding mix, baking soda, and salt) until fully combined.

Chocolate chips, walnuts, and marshmallows added to bowl

Now, add in the chocolate chips, 1/2 cups of walnuts, and 1/2 cup of marshmallows. Mix all together.

Cookie dough balls with marshmallows in the middle

Create cookie dough balls using a cookie scoop. Break the dough balls in half and top the bottom half with 3 marshmallows.

Stack the top half back on top of the marshmallows and seal the marshmallows inside the cookie dough ball.

Cookie dough balls on baking sheet

Space out the cookie dough balls on the parchment paper and top each one with more walnuts. Bake them for 10 minutes.

Baked Rocky Road Cookies on cooling rack

Finally, once they have baked, allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for another 8 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. (You could also let them finish cooling on the baking sheet.) Serve and enjoy!

Traditionally, the Rocky Road flavor contains a combination of chocolate, nuts, and marshmallows. If you’d prefer, you can leave the marshmallows out – or even replace them with a different add-in like M&Ms!
