One of my favorite bakeries in New York is Ovenly. They make this delicious, gluten-free seasonal cookie based on hot chocolate. It reminds me of rocky road ice cream – chocolate ice cream, nuts, chocolate pieces, and marshmallows – created in the United States in 1929 at the time of Wall Street Crash and named ‘rocky road’ given the ensuing Great Depression.
I significantly adapted Ovenly’s seasonal hot chocolate cookie recipe to make it more of a year-round rocky road-style cookie. Any cookie with marshmallows is a winner for me. It’s a fudgy, chewy and decadent treat – perhaps my favorite cookie!
