Ooey Gooey Rocky Road Cookies

 
 This is THE cookie I've been trying to make for so long...... It's taken me forever to get all the ingredients in the house at the same time.  BUT here they are.....

Ingredients:

• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 extra large egg whites
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 2.5 oz sliced almonds, toasted
• 1 cup mini marshmallows

Directions:

1.   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.

2.   In a large bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk in the salt. Add the egg whites and vanilla and whisk until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and almonds.



To compare the stack to Tim's head....

3.   Use a disher to portion out small mounds on to the parchment paper, then top each cookie with 4-5 marshmallows. Pop into the freezer for 5 minutes to chill slightly (this prevents them from spreading too much in the oven).

4.   Bake for 12-13 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown. Let the cookies sit on the paper for a few minutes to set, before moving them to a wire rack to cool. Are these ooey gooey or what? Enjoy!!!

I decided that I didn't want these cookies to be around the house long.  Therefore, I made them a bit bigger with the total lapse in logical judgment as to how big they would grow.  I had NO idea they would expand to the size they did!!    When I pulled them out of the oven, I laid an Australian 10 cent piece beside it to give you some kind of idea how big these cookies are!  haha- You don't want to be eating an entire one in one sitting. 

 

But I must say: THESE ARE AMAZING!!   A bit too chocolaty for me, but for those of you who love sweets and chocolate: this is the cookie for you. 

 

The woman who posted these on her site should get a massive thank you, as these were just simply divine!   NOT healthy in anyway shape or form and I'm so sorry Kara for messing with those abs you're working for!!
