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!

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.

Next, add in your eggs and vanilla.

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

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

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.

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

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!

Easy Rocky Road Cookies Recipe

Yields: 21 cookies
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 10 minutes
Additional time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup unbleached flour
1 3.9 package of chocolate instant pudding
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups marshmallows, divided
1 cup chopped walnuts, divided

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
Stir in flour, chocolate pudding, baking soda, and salt.
Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup walnuts, and 1/2 cup marshmallows.
Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls.
Pinch the cookie dough ball in half and put half of it on the baking sheet.
Top the cookie dough half with three marshmallows and place the other half of the cookie dough ball on top and seal in the marshmallows inside.
Once all of the cookie dough balls have been stuffed with marshmallows, top each cookie dough ball with chopped walnuts and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for 8 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack, or let cool completely on the parchment paper.
If your cookies spread more than you like, immediately use a spoon after they come out of the oven to push the melted marshmallows back into the center of the cookie.

Notes:
● Cookies can be stored at room temperature for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months if sealed in an airtight container.
● Cookies are soft and chewy. The marshmallows and walnuts give the cookies a chewy crunch that’s so good.
