    Tips For Making Delicious Rocky Road Cookies

    Try not to have marshmallows on the bottom of the cookies.

    Strategically make sure that the vegan marshmallows lie in the centre and on top of the rocky road cookies. This way they won't be sticky when handled.

    Underbake the cookies

    This way the brownie cookies will come out soft. They will continue to bake at room temperature as they cool down.

    Customise This Recipe

    • Add Digestive cookies/biscuits to the cookie dough. When folding in the marshmallows, almonds and chocolate chips, add some in to make the rocky road even more authentic.

    Description

    These vegan rocky road cookies are one of my favourites. They're filled with toasty vegan marshmallows, almonds and chocolate chips. Enjoy. 


    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    Cookie Dough:

    • 220g all-purpose flour
    • 25g cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 0.5 teaspoon ground coffee
    • Pinch of salt
    • 120g brown sugar
    • 100g vegan butter (room temperature)
    • 70g plain dairy free yogurt (room temperature)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1.5 tablespoons soy milk (room temperature)
    • 150g chocolate chips
    • 50g almonds (chopped)
    • 65g vegan marshmallows* (see notes)

    Instructions

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat your oven to 177 Celsius (350F)
    2. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper. Set aside.

    Make the cookie dough:

    1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, ground coffee and salt. Set aside.
    2. In a separate mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon to cream together the brown sugar with the room temperature vegan butter. You can also use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
    3. Add the room temperature dairy free yogurt, vanilla extract and the soy milk. Mix well.
    4. Sift the dry mixture into the wet mixture then fold it in until almost all the flour has been mixed in. Once there is only a little more flour to fold in, stop.
    5. Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped almonds and vegan marshmallows. Finally, fold in the final bit of flour.

    Bake the cookies:

    1. Use a cookie scoop or an ice cream scoop to scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Use your hands to roll the scoops of cookie dough into smooth balls.
    2. Place the cookie dough balls at least 2-3cm apart on the large baking trays so that they don’t overlap each other when they flatten. If your oven only has room for one tray, bake one set of cookies at a time.
    3. Bake your rocky road cookies in the centre of the oven for 12 minutes. The edges of the cookies should become golden brown.
    4. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for 10 minutes.

    Notes

    • You can substitute the dairy free yogurt for unsweetened apple sauce.
    • I used large vegan marshmallows and chopped them. Using mini marshmallows is easier.
