Description
Rocky Road Chocolate Fudge Cookies are rich, soft, and packed with chocolate, nuts, and gooey marshmallows, finished with a decadent drizzle of melted chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans/almonds)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly.
- Scoop dough into 2-3 tablespoon balls and place on prepared sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Press a few mini marshmallows gently onto the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft and marshmallows puff and lightly toast.
- While cookies cool on the baking sheet, melt remaining chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in microwave until smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies and let set completely before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, toast the nuts before adding them to the dough.
- If you prefer, substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
