EASY ROCKY ROAD COOKIES

QUICK and EASY cookies that are absolutely heavenly from ingredients you already have! It’s like if PB cookies and Rocky Road squares had a baby, they’re so good!

RECIPE:
▪️1 cup peanut butter
▪️1 cup brown sugar
▪️1 egg
▪️1 tbsp baking powder
▪️Pinch of salt
▪️1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips
▪️3/4 cup mini marshmallows
▪️1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts or almonds)

Preheat oven to 350F.

MIX PB, sugar, egg, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Fold in choc chips, marshmallows, and pecans.

Using ice cream scoop, measure out dough onto baking sheet. Makes 12 large cookies!

Bake for 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes on sheet. Move to container when done. These can be frozen and thawed (so you don’t eat them all at once, LOL #quarantinefifteen

▫️PS, they’re #glutenfree and #dairyfree!! (make sure to use df choc chips!)

Whats your #QuarantineAndChill activity of choice? We LOVE baking and Archer is getting so good at it! He even helps with clean up while the cookies bake. I love teaching him life skills while making it fun!…and these cookies with a GIANT glass of almond milk are the perfect reward for our productivity. Haha!

Tips:

▪️Use all natural peanut butter, with no salt or sugar added. This keeps the added sugar lower than using the processed stuff!

▪️To reduce the sugar content, you can swap 1/4 of the sugar with an alternate sweetener, I recommend SWERVE granulated sugar.

▪️for a flatter cookie, flatten with the back of a fork before putting in the oven.

▪️you can swap pecans for slivered almonds or walnuts.

▪️use dairy free chocolate chips if you are cutting dairy, otherwise the dark chocolate normal ones taste best

▪️freeze these in a container or resealable bag and thaw as needed. Take them out and leave on counter for a couple hours and you’re good to go!
