Rocky Road Cookies are soft, chewy chocolate cookies packed with gooey mini marshmallows, crunchy sliced almonds, and rich semisweet chocolate chips. Made in one bowl with no chilling required, they are an easy homemade treat full of classic rocky road flavor.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, melted

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup mini marshmallows, halved

1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and egg until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, halved mini marshmallows, and sliced almonds.
  7. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and place portions 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 7–10 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still appear slightly underbaked.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Substitute sliced almonds with chopped pecans or walnuts if desired.

Dark chocolate chips can be used for a richer chocolate flavor.

Add toffee bits or white chocolate chips for extra texture and sweetness.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Freeze baked cookies or portioned dough for up to 3 months.

Microwave a cookie for 8–10 seconds to enjoy warm and gooey.
