Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Cookies:
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Rocky Road Mix-ins:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks (or chips)
  • 3/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
  • In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Combine & Add Mix-ins:
  • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chunks and chopped nuts (save some for topping).
  • Shape the Cookies:
  • Scoop dough onto the baking sheet (about 2 tablespoons per cookie).
  • Gently press a few mini marshmallows and extra chocolate chunks on top of each.
  • Bake:
  • Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set but centers are slightly soft.
  • Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer.
  • Try adding caramel bits or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence!
