Ooey Gooey Rocky Road Cookies

My most recent challenge was to make something rocky road inspired. I searched many recipes and found quite a few ideas that looked tasty but I could not get the recipe that Lu suggested out of my head. So I made them.

I used this recipe from the always excellent Fifteen Spatulas  as a guideline and subsituted the almonds for hazelnuts. I also chopped up regular sized marshmallows instead of buying minis.

However, I forgot that I was out of parchment paper until after I baked the cookies. The first pan went on the Silipat and on the second pan I absentmindedly put down wax paper. I didn't realize my mistake until after I had baked the cookies and had to try prying them off the pan! Whoops.

I ended up with glob shaped cookies but they tasted great!
