These Rocky Road Pudding Cookies are loaded up with chocolate chips, walnuts, and marshmallows and have a soft and chewy brownie-like center!
You GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These Cookies. THESE. ROCKY. ROAD. PUDDING. COOKIES!!!!
There are no words. Okay, there are lots of words, but I can’t get them out past all the chewing.
So… words: They’re chewy, chocolaty, marshmallowy, walnutty, deliciousness. I know, half of those aren’t even words. But you get the idea.
You guys might have noticed that I’ve developed quite an addiction to Pudding Cookies. They’re just so easy to make and they’re SO SO GOOD! Plus I love that my base recipe is so adaptable! You can pretty much make any flavor you put your mind to with the help of Jell-O Instant Pudding and a few other add-ins. Since you should probably eat dinner before dessert, check out KRAFT’s Digital Cookbook for some great summer grilling recipes!
JUST LOOK AT THAT COOKIE! You see that center? You know, where it almost looks like a fudge brownie? Yup, it’s amazing. True story. And if for some reason you don’t think so, then we probably can’t be friends anymore. So just admit that you’re drooling and we can live happily ever after, okay?
So anyways, most of you probably hear Rocky Road and think of the ice cream, which is quite a valid thought process. However, there are weirdos like me who don’t like chocolate ice cream and therefore don’t like rocky road ice cream, I know, I know. BUT… I do quite love the chocolate, marshmallow, and nuts combo and firmly believe it should be made into every possible dessert (except ice cream). So with Rocky Road Cupcakes and Mousse Shooters in the rear view, cookies seemed like the best new victim for my Rocky Road addiction.
These cookies are just incredible. If their soft brownie-like center isn’t enough to make you fall in love, chunks of walnuts, chocolate chips and Jet-Puffed mini marshmallows should do the trick! So go forth my friends and make these cookies ASAP! You can be enjoying these warm and gooey and chewy cookies with a glass of milk in less than 30 minutes!
What’s your favorite summer dessert to enjoy after a delicious grilled dinner?

I am not usually a fan of chocolate deserts as I find that they are too rich for me but I might make an exception for this bad boy! Mmm

Ann says
Drooling just looking at your cookies! Rocky road rules! 🙂
Rebecca says
Thanks, Ann! These cookies were so good, I had to take them into work so I didn’t eat them all myself!
Paula says
How many cookies do you get using the spoon measurement you gave. Would love to make these for a Life Group dinner. But might do a little small scoop to get more out of it if I need to…they look pretty rich anyway. (But oh, so yummy)I give it 5 star even if I have not had one yet…I feel sure they are good for it!
Rebecca says
Hi Paula,
It will make about 3 dozen cookies that are about 2 inches across. You could definitely make them with a tbsp of dough instead of 1.5 tbsp, anything smaller than that though and you might miss out on some of the components in the cookies. These are so good, I wanted to make them again this weekend but ended up making the Oreo Pudding Cookies I posted today instead!
Enjoy and I hope your group loves them!
Jeanie Koula says
Your rocky road pudding cookies look amazing. What is homemade vanilla extract?? Does it change the taste a whole lot if you use reg vanilla extract?
Thanks. Jeanie
Rebecca says
Hi Jeanie, the homemade vanilla extract is just vanilla beans that soak in vodka (or another alcohol) for 6-8 weeks. Store bought vanilla extract is perfectly fine!
