Best 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.

CHOCOLATE ROCKY ROAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a small sauce melt together the butter and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the melted chocolate mixture with the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, stir into the chocolate mixture. Finally, stir in the chopped nuts and remaining chocolate chips.
• Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto unprepared cookie sheets. Press a miniature marshmallow into the center of each cookie. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from baking sheets immediately to cool on wire racks.

• 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.
