Satisfy a sweet tooth in seconds. These decadent cookies are oozing with rich dark chocolate and creamy marshmallow.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Add egg; beat just until blended. Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
Stir mini marshmallows, 3/4 ounce coarsely chopped dark chocolate, and pecans into cookie dough. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine 1 ounce chopped dark chocolate and canola oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until melted, stirring every 20 seconds. Drizzle chocolate over cooled cookies.

(My comments wouldn't post the first time, so here goes again...) Someone
didn't proofread...I took the "3/4 oz" of chocolate to be 3/4 CUP,
and a whole teaspoon of baking soda is a lot even when acidic ingredients are
present in the recipe (which they aren't here).I reduced this to 1/4 tsp. and used 1/2 tsp. of baking powder to avoid a
bitter, "chemical" flavor.The
basic cookie dough recipe to which the "Rocky Road" ingredients are
added seems good otherwise; I would recommend mincing the marshmallows as even
miniatures don't get equitably distributed in the dough, and more finely
chopping the chocolate for the same reason.The first dozen or two spread out more than the last batch, so I'd also
recommend letting the dough sit a little while first, at least if you're using
white wheat flour as I did.These are
basically chocolate-nut cookies with marshmallows added, so these are good but
nothing really new or innovative.I'll
be trying a couple more of the recipes that start with this basic dough in the
magazine.
Proportions Seem Off
When making the dough, it seemed very dry. The cookies spread out and didn’t hold their shape. I really think the ingredient list and amounts are off. I will not make these again.
