Recipe overview

Chocolate cookie dough: Our favorite chocolate-based cookie dough. Sweetened with a combination of brown sugar and white sugar, flavored with cocoa powder and vanilla. These cookies bake up with crisp edges and soft centers.

Mix-ins: Here’s where these turn into rocky road cookies! A combination of chocolate chips and chopped nuts gets mixed into the dough. Once the dough is portioned a full-size marshmallow gets placed inside each dough ball before baking.

Garnish: After baking add a few more chopped nuts and chocolate chips on top of the cookies.
