The Rocky Road cookie recipe was one of the first few recipes I posted on my blog.
I love the texture and look of this chocolate cookie. Crisp on the outside and fudgy on the inside, it is what a chocolate lover dreams of.
The texture of the popular classic chewy brownies recipe is similar (Recipe video included) if you want to try it.

How to make Rocky Road Cookies?
In a bowl swift together, powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Stir in salt and coffee granules. Add egg whites and vanilla and mix well until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and almonds. You can also replace almonds with walnuts or pecans.
Remember that there are some important things you should keep in mind while making these cookies.
Firstly, the batter is watery so place the cookie tray in the freezer for 10 minutes before you pour the cookie batter on the sheet. This method helps the batter from spreading.
Secondly, bake for 11 to 12 minutes. A minute longer can ruin the chewy texture of the cookie.
Lastly, the cookies will still be soft and should be slightly underdone when you take it out of the oven. Let it rest on the sheet for a few minutes before you transfer to a wire rack to cool.
You can top it with marshmallows, sprinkles, white chocolate chips, chocolate chunks or coarsely powdered candy canes.
