Recipe: Giant Rocky Road Cookies:


Ingredients


- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (plus additional for flattening cookies)

- 1 tsp baking soda

- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter

- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

- 1 egg

- 1/2 tsp Double-strength vanilla

- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped toasted pecans (divided)

- 1 pkg (11.5 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chunks (divided)

- 1 1/4 cups miniature marshmallows


Directions:


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a Cookie Sheet with Parchment paper; set aside. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a Small Batter Bowl; mix well.


2. In a Stainless (4-qt) Mixing Bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture; beat just until mixture forms into a dough. Stir in 3/4 cup of pecans and 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chunks.


3. Using a Large Scoop, drop eight rounded scoops of dough, 2 inches apart, onto the Cookie Sheet. Dip the back of the scoop into cocoa powder; flatten cookies slightly using the back of the scoop. Press half of the remaining nuts and chocolate into the tops of the cookies.


4. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until cookies are almost set. (Centers will be soft. Do not overbake). Remove the Cookie Sheet from the oven; immediately press half of the marshmallows into the tops of the cookies. Slide parchment and cookies onto a Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough, pecans, chocolate chunks, and marshmallows.


Whether you savor the smooth elegance of life or relish the unexpected twists and turns, the Giant Rocky Road Cookies are here to satisfy your cravings. With a perfect blend of textures and flavors, these cookies are a celebration of the diverse paths we navigate. So, embrace the adventure and indulge in a cookie that's as unique as you are!
