Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold butter (cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup Cake Flour *
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup cashews (roughly chopped)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 410 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar and mix for at least 4 minutes, or until light and creamy.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
  3. Fold in cocoa powder, cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Add chocolate chips, marshmallows, and cashews.
  4. Roll into 5 to 6-ounce large balls. Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. I suggest using a light-colored baking sheet.
  5. To make them look extra gourmet...place a few chocolate chips and marshmallows on the tops of the cookies and lightly press into the top.
  6. Bake for 9-11 minutes. When you remove the cookies from the oven, one tip is that the marshmallows have a tendency to melt if the marshmallows are on the edge of the cookie dough. When you remove the cookies from the oven, you will need to take a small brownie spatula to press the edges towards the center of the cookie. This helps to shape the rocky road cookie as it cools.
  7. Let the cookies rest for 15 minutes to allow them time to set-up before removing from the baking sheet.

Notes

  • This recipe calls for a mix of cake flour and all-purpose flour so you will use a total of 2 1/2 cups of flour in this recipe. The cake flour has a lower gluten content which helps to create a more tender, softer texture. If you don't have cake flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour.
