Rocky Road Cookies Recipe. A Christmas must have 😊 Makes 6 giant cookies. Double recipe as needed. Cookie dough: 25g Eggs 100g Light Brown Sugar 62g Softened Unsalted Butter 1/4 tsp Salt 90g All Purpose Flour 16g Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder 1/8 tsp Cinnamon 1/4 tsp Espresso Powder 1/8 tsp Baking Soda 1/2 tsp Baking Powder Inclusions: 30g Sliced Almonds 45g Dark Chocolate Chips 15g Milk Chocolate Chips 15g Mini Marshmallows (read recipe comments) Preparation: 1. Preheat your oven to 165C, fan mode off, placing a baking rack at the middle shelf of the oven. 2. Beat the butter, sugar and salt on medium speed, until fluffy and creamy, for about 2-3 minutes. 3. Add the eggs and beat for 2 more minutes. 4. Sift the dry ingredients over the butter mixture: flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, espresso powder, baking soda and baking powder. In cutting motions, incorporate into the batter using a spatula until about 70% combined. 5. Add the inclusions: chocolates, almonds and marshmallows (NOTE: marshmallows will melt once baked in the oven which will make the cookies spread excessively. Therefore I suggest to top the cookies with the marshmallows instead). 6. Scoop the dough into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper- you can use an ice cream scoop or two large tablespoons. Each cookie is around 50g each. Space them evenly as they spread in the oven. 7. Bake for 11 minutes. Allow to cool down at least 20 minutes before serving. . . #bakingaesthetics #baketok #cozybaking #fypbaking #cottagecorebaking #aestheticbaking #christmascookies #christmascountdown #christmasbaking #rockyroadcookies

Rocky road cookies are American chocolate cookies, that include chocolate chips, almonds and marshmallows, and they’re super easy to make. During the development of this recipe, I wanted my cookies to have a lot of marshmallows in them. To my disappointment, the marshmallows melting during baking made the cookies expand too excessively. I then decided just to use the marshmallows as decoration, so the cookies would maintain their round and beautiful shape. They are super delicious, so get ready to double the recipe.

Light Brown Sugar	100g
Salt	1/4 tsp
Eggs	25g (Half one medium sized egg)

Ingredient	Amount (g / units)

Dark Chocolate Chips	45g
Milk Chocolate Chips	15g

Preparation instructions:

Preheat your oven to 165C, fan mode off, placing a baking rack at the middle shelf of the oven.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, using an electric handheld mixer, beat the butter, sugar and salt on medium speed, until fluffy and creamy, for about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs and beat for 2 more minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally with a spatula to ensure even mixing.
Sift the dry ingredients over the butter mixture: flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, espresso powder, baking soda and baking powder. In cutting motions, incorporate into the batter using a spatula until about 70% combined.
Add the inclusions: chocolates, almonds and marshmallows (NOTE: marshmallows will melt once baked in the oven which will make the cookies spread excessively. Therefore, I suggest to top the cookies with the marshmallows instead. What you see in the video is my failed attempt to add in plenty of marshmallows into the dough).
Scoop the dough into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper- you can use an ice cream scoop or two large tablespoons. Each cookie is around 50g each. Space them evenly as they spread in the oven.
Bake for 11 minutes. Allow to cool down at least 20 minutes before serving.
