Rocky Road Cookies

I’ve been eyeing the marshmallows in my baking drawer, and on Friday night when my teenager called me out for having marshmallow cream hidden in the pantry - I decided to take action.

Rocky Road [ice cream] is chocolate flavored ice cream with candy chunks, nuts, and marshmallows. The original Breyer's Rocky Road Ice Cream was made with chocolate covered almonds!

Jacob loves Rocky Road ice cream, Koop apparently has a secret love of marshmallow cream and we all know I love cookies so this, this was the outcome. And it was fanfuckingtastic.
